The staff was incredible. We had an issue with the TV in our room and within minutes of calling the front desk a maintenance worker was at our door and the issue was resolved within minutes. The front desk staff was incredibly helpful and friendly. The location was amazing. We could walk everywhere. This is just a few minutes walk to the harbor seal reserve and very close to Linden Street. I will definitely stay here again. The value for what you get is truly amazing.
