thin wallslimited parking
i have to admit the walls seemed pretty thin i could hear everything those noisy guests were up to next door i swear they were practicing tap dancing or something. plus the limited parking was a bit of a headache i circled the block twice before snagging a spot it reminded me of winning the lottery but not really.

wonderful experience
warm greetinghelpful informationdelicious sushiconvenient exploration
The owners greeted me warmly. They offered helpful information about nearby attractions. The sushi prepared by the owners was delicious. The building maintained many original period features. The location offered easy access to both the harbour and the beach. This allowed for convenient exploration.
The walls were a bit thin, which allowed some noise to travel between rooms.

The hotel is a short walk from the harbour. It also overlooks a lovely garden. The location felt central to everything, and it was a great base. The road itself was nice and peaceful.

Breakfast was cooked to order and quite good. The owner, a former chef, prepared a wonderful meal. The option for evening meals exists. This provides a satisfying dining experience.
