I was delighted with the hotel's fabulous location, right on the docks with mesmerizing views of boats. The rooms were not just clean and comfy but also had several amenities that added to the convenience. The receptionists were especially helpful and made my stay even more enjoyable. However, the dining experience, although inclusive, lacked variety in breakfast choices. The hotel's prime location near the ferry terminal was incredibly convenient. The price was reasonable, offering great value for money.
