"This is an old property that has been recently updated. It does not have parking or an elevator, but it is well located, only a few blocks from the waterfront, a block from the grocery store, and across the street from a park and restaurants. The staff are very friendly and helpful, even packing a breakfast for us when our airline schedule required departure before breakfast was served. The front desk lady even carried my 22 kilo suitcase up two flights of stairs to my room, when clearly I was unable. They offer free water, coffee and a bottle of wine with every stay. While the rooms are small, each floor has an open living room area to sit, read and chat. There is also a small business centre with a computer. Beds are comfortable. Breakfast is full and hearty, with very attentive staff to ensure that food is replenished and tables are cleared."
