The room was ready when we arrived. Well stocked with tea, milk waiting us in yhe fridge. View of the water as promised. We were asked if we had a small car, just as well. Tight getting it into the space we were allocated due to the angles of that particular parking space. Staff were pleasant and great cafes nearby. Pool not open.

Clean room. Great kitchenette and balcony!!! Beautiful view of the city to see the fireworks for new years!! Only downfall was the pool was not working and had been drained and the bubbles in the hot tub didn’t work. Also, front desk was rarely staffed.
