The property is basically old but well located in walkable distance to port locations and attractions. Parking was included in the price of the room, a plus. Staff was courteous and helpful. The bed was comfortable but we had to ask for second chair to be brought up so one of us didn’t have to sit on the bed. Overall we enjoyed our stay and would recommend to others.
