this hotel has convenient location for visiting the dockyards. it is much better looking inside than the outside appearance suggests. the bedroom was light. i found the bathroom to be airy.
the room felt very hot, it did have a fan. it did not make much difference. the floor had paint spills i think could easily be cleaned.
