The location was reasonable. Most of the staff were polite and helpful. They should not be charging extra for a room with a harbour view when there is a high rise building site blocking most of the view. Very disappointed that the swimming pool was closed for maintenance. had I known that in advance, I would have booked elsewhere. Thanks
