Positive Reviews
positive:
Convenient yet peaceful location.
The hotel is a short walk away from the waterfront as well as many of the local shops and restaurants. Guests were pleased to find that they could walk to the local amenities and sightseeing attractions without having to worry about driving or getting public transport. Although centrally located, the hotel is in a quiet residential area which meant that guests did not experience any noise disturbances in the evenings.
positive:
Lots of places to relax and unwind.
