Room was large and comfortable with a Spanish Euro theme that works well. It was a suite so the separate bedroom and living room was well organised. Room was very clean and the bathroom was large and modern. Excellent hot water and shower pressure. Quiet at night with good sound deadening overall. Nice continental breakfast a bonus. Parking is a bit of a free for all, though, with no allocated slots. Very good staff.

Decent location next to the Port of Sale. Friendly check in staff. Rooms light globes didnt match, room feeling generally tired, scuff marks on wall, no fan in bathroom. bed was comfortable enough. For $140 a night might consider spending a bit more and staying somewhere better if I returned to Sale again. Breakfast was decent enough.
