Spacious room on the first floor with comfortable bed, large spa bath and seperate shower. Free parking on site. Relatively quiet spot despite the proximity to a major thoroughfare. Feels and looks more like a motel than hotel. It is, however, in a good location just a couple of kilometres from the waterfront and town centre.
