Solid Stay with Excellent Breakfast

excellent breakfastharbor vieweasy walkefficient receptionist
The breakfast WAS really good, particularly the perfectly cooked fried eggs. I found the room size larger than expected and it had views of the harbour. A BIG plus was the easy walk into town for dinner. I appreciated the receptionist, Mykilia. She was very cute and efficient.
I noticed the decor in the rooms looked a bit dated.
