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.
