Very easy check-in/ check-out process which was nice. The room was not at the standard expected for the price even considering the holiday. Convenient to the excursions and downtown. The view was minimal and the room was very basic, with limited amenities, yet clean.

We stayed in an apartment on the ground floor which was very convenient. It was comfortable and quiet even though it was located on a main road. The location was pleasant with views of the water, but it was not walkable to restaurants.
