Breakfast was really good with lots of options. Walked here from the Bus Station and could walk down to the shops and harbor easily. Miss having our own bathroom though, but at least we had a sink in the room.

That was a great stay for the night. The free breakfast was a huge perk and the room was comfortable. We got lucky with our timing to get free street parking for the night, but the free parking on site that we relied on wasn’t available. This didn’t impact our stay, but just a heads up!
