A great hotel! We stopped for the night and we were so impressed with the hotel, I wanted to stay longer but unfortunately we had a flight to catch. The rooms have recently been renovated and were just perfect, the location was an easy access to the domestic terminal. I have already recommended it it to our local friends. The harbor and surrounding area were pretty and many restaurants to choose. Check in/out were very easy. I will definitely stay again if I’m ever fortunate enough to come back
