super awesome location friendly hospitality magnificent room view no parking payment methods generic coffee
i had such a blast. the location was super awesome. it really helped that it was so close to everything. i was also thrilled about how friendly everyone was. the room view was magnificent!
it was a slight bummer that there wasn't parking available. i thought i could park. the payment methods also caught me off guard, cash or bank transfer only. i think normal cups would be better than china cups. i also thought the price was a bit much for the generic coffee and milk provided.

limited payment methods no on-site parking
I found there was no on-site parking. This oversight forced me to secure and pay for alternative parking arrangements, rather inconvenient. payment options were quite limited. The hotel mandates cash payments or bank transfers. These methods are less convenient than modern card facilities.

Really good Stay with Fine Views

Pat provided a warm welcome upon my arrival. Lara extended an equally gracious farewell at my departure. My room was notably super clean. The dual aspect windows offered a fine view of both the harbour and the bay.
I was unaware that payment was expected in cash or via bank transfer. This detail was only indicated in the room, which surprised me.
