One night stay. Room spacious and clean. As a foreigner difficult to work out TV. Regarding home channels. A big motel, feels like a maze. Nice restaurant with gorgeous views over port but very disappointed with the way the restaurant staff are trained to work.makes no sense. People are waits over 20 minutes for their order to be taken and staff are tidying and laying up tables! Surely orders are more important. We had a lovely, friendly experienced server but she said they take it in turns. She would be a great trainer as other young staff needed a hand.

Good Hotel

While there have been some upgrades to this facility over the past several years, some aspects of it appear a bit "tired". That stated, it was clean and the staff were friendly and several were extra helpful, this last of which was very much appreciated. The food was good, not spectacular, but that wasn't necessary either. The prices were all fair. The room was well-enough equipped and the beds were good. Did we need anything else? No!
