amazing views helpful staff
the location was superb, offering amazing views of the harbour! the staff were friendly and helpful, especially mary, who provided weather updates. i also enjoyed arun's cooking, a culinary delight, though the room felt a bit small for the price.
The room was quite cold upon arrival. A small heater was running, though it didn't completely warm the space, and the shower pressure was very poor were good!
