Solid stay near the docks

useful locationfront parkinghealthy choice
Location was really useful, especially its nearness to the cruise ship dock. Having parking right in front of the place was a bonus. Breakfast had a nice healthy choice, more than the usual greasy fry-up.
The mattresses felt a bit old, and I saw what looked like burn marks on the sheets.
