Nice Stay with Excellent Views
convenient locationstocked bathroomspacious roompractical table
The location proved convenient for reaching the rocks and the cruise terminal, each about ten minutes walking. My room was spacious. It included a kitchen area with a mini bar. The bathroom was properly stocked. I appreciated the seating area and table.
The room showed some wear, requiring paint in places when compared to their beautiful rooms.
