"Pretty good location right at one end of town with tons of shops and restaurants, easy walk to the waterfront. The hotel is a little run down but has character that I found sort of charming. The room was basic but clean and comfortable with everything you needed. For a budget stay this was a good choice overall. We were disappointed with parking, although it is clearly described in the post that parking is limited, so we knew it could be an issue going in. Their lot is small and chaotic around the corner from the hotel -spaces aren’t really marked and it was full when we got there. The staff did direct us to a paid lot down the street, but we ended up finding a spot on the street and were able to top up the meter frequently enough to make that work. If you want guaranteed parking stay elsewhere (again, all described in their listing)."

8/10 Good
"As last year, when I stayed at the Dunarle, the room was clean, the house cleaners were pleasant and efficient, and the bathroom was very clean, even though it was a shared bathroom. But some issues: there was a small desk in my room, but no chair that "fit" it. When I made this reservation, I was promised a free continental breakfast. When I arrive, they no longer offer the breakfast I was promised, but offered no explanation or compensation. Disappointing. Finally, given I was on the first floor front, I was surprised at how loud the street noises were."
