The location was near shops. That was convenient.
The shower lacked pressure, it barely trickled. Taking a proper shower was impossible. The bed was also pretty old. I also noticed the whole place had a musty smell.

i was really grateful for the harbour view from my room. the location was perfect though the parking was expensive. i found the staff to be very friendly, they really did their best.
The corridors were tired. there was no air conditioning even with a fan, the room was very warm. i had a problem with the room keys. They didn't work and i had to travel down to reception.
