Excellent location. Able to walk to many restaurants, shops, transportation depots and landmarks. The hotel is old so the bathroom is small and dated, not many people on staff at the front desk so you have to wait but the people who are working are extremely friendly and helpful.

The location was in an excellent location for us going to the Passenger Terminal. The were a couple of things we didn't like about room 104. The bathroom didn't look spotless and the toilet was too close to the bath/shower. I woke up about 2:30 A.M. to the sound of a constant regular noise. I couldn't locate the noise but it may have been the bar fridge. It was very annoying and kept me awake.
