an okay stay

harbour proximity town center sagging beds tiny sink

i felt very welcome. the position was very near the harbour and town center. the supplies in the room were well stocked. the handbook provided within the room was very helpful.

the twin beds were sagging quite a bit. i had to sit on an angle on the toilet. the sink was so tiny.

a tender moment in a cute space

advantageous location light ambience welcome spirit valuable amenity

the location was advantageous, a brief walk to the town center. the room felt light with a comfortable ambience. i was greeted with a welcome spirit from the staff. the car parking was a valuable amenity to have.

i observed a very slight musty scent at one point. this was momentary and did not take away from the stay overall. it barely registered as a concern.
