Loved this hotel but had to change rooms after the first night because my harbor-view room on the 2nd floor was right above the dumpsters. One ai chained to a different room on the 3rd floor, my stay was much quieter and better!

I think the staff are amazing. Very friendly. Very helpful. Very nicely appointed if small room, Great view of the harbour from the room. Could use a bar fridge. Cleanliness is not their strong point, however. Dirt can be found in the corners of the room, mold on the outside of the shower door, and dust inside the drawer under the bed.
