Fantastic Stay in a Prime Spot

keyless entry systemimmaculate roomspacious ensuiteprime location
I really liked the smooth keyless entry system. Codes came via text and email. The room was immaculate, and the ensuite was spacious. The location could not be better. The harbor was a short distance. We had a lovely room and can't wait to return.
I would say the pillows were a bit soft!

spacious roomfree parkingemail issue
The room was quite spacious and clean. It had a large bathroom with a separate bath and shower. access to the hotel was very easy, and free parking was available nearby. i found the bed to be soft and comfy, though this might be subjective for some.
i tried to email about getting fresh towels and emptying the bins, but the email bounced back. a phone call resolved the issue. there is no reception, so i was unsure about swimming pool access.

The location was near the town centre. The room was clean, and the heating worked WELL. The self-check-in process was quick and easy with the door codes. The harbor view was lovely from the hotel location.
The bed was soft AND uncomfortable. The pillows were thin and USELESS. The window did not close properly, and it could be opened from the outside.
