Rooms are small but very well appointed . Was assigned a 1st floor room, asked for a higher floor and the front desk was very accommodating. Excellent breakfast with great assortment of fresh fruit , pastries , eggs etc. Very clean quiet rooms and beautiful showers ( some additional towel racks or hooks to hang towels would be nice ) Air conditioning worked well Very clean and comfortable beds/ bedding as well.

It was a great stay for us but know you are far from the waterfront- probably a pleasant 20 min walk. Still close to things to see and places to eat. The hotel rooms would benefit of having at least a mini fridge.
