Location and hotel were nice overall. Walkable, close to a lot of the water excursions in the area. Rooms are very basic, I expected more for the price we paid. Free breakfast was nice. The shower soaps smelled super bad, not sure if it was just the brand. Staff were friendly, they were a little stingy with the towels.
We had a very good stay here, it was close to everything within a few minutes walking. The staff was so helpful and friendly. The breakfast was great and the staff that did breakfast were very polite and friendly. I would stay here again.
