Great Harbour Stay
central locationfresh towelsbasic needssea views
The location is very central, offering easy access to the pier and the sea. My room was cleaned daily, and I received fresh towels (a small thing, but appreciated). The room met all my basic needs for the short stay. I particularly enjoyed the bar and terrace area, complete with nice sea views.
I found the directions to my room somewhat unclear upon arrival.
