the harbour view from the room was acceptable (nothing special, though).
i had issues with the room size. it was smaller than i expected. the bathroom was ridiculously tiny, and it was hard to even turn around in the shower, which wasn't ideal.

clean roomrestaurant closuremaze-like route
the room was clean and cozy, just what I needed after a long drive.
i was disappointed to find the restaurant was closed . i had planned to have a meal there but this was not possible and i was not informed about the closure beforehand, it was rather annoying. also, the route to my room felt a bit like a maze, with stairs going up and down, it was unexpected and a little inconvenient with luggage.

harbour viewprivate parkingthoughtful touchsmall bathroom
the room overlooking the harbour offered a beautiful view the location was perfect for exploring the surrounding area. the provided tea and biscuits were a thoughtful touch i found the self check in process very convenient. nearby private parking was available which helped a lot.
i noticed that the bathroom was quite small it made it a little challenging to manage toiletries and move around comfortably. i think a bit more space or better organization would improve the experience.
