The location is fantastic, just a block from the waterfront and a short walk to the city center. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming. Our room was spotless, spacious, and had a cozy bed. The hotel facilities, especially the heated pool, were a delight, and we enjoyed complimentary cookies upon arrival.
