A verified traveller stayed at DeLorenzo's Studio Apartments
"Staff and other guests were really friendly. The shared continental breakfast in the breakfast room was really handy and a nice way to start the day. The motel is in an interesting setting in the Port, and we were lucky enough to have an upstairs balcony with a view out over the water. While the outside of building tired, the room was beautifully done up. The restaurant/bar next door had nice food and friendly staff. Very enjoyable stay, thank you. "
