The hotel's location was superb, right in the town center and near the ferry, offering great sea views and convenience for transportation. The service was exceptional, going above and beyond for guests, though the dining experience was a bit lackluster. The rooms, however, were disappointing, with cleanliness and maintenance issues affecting the overall stay.

Rooms

The rooms looked grubby and neglected, with dust all over the lights and stains on the carpet, giving an overall unclean appearance. The non-existent room on the 3rd floor and the out-of-order lift added to the disappointment.
