“The hotel's harbour views and location stand out, although some past visitors mention inconsistent service and limited menu choices for those avoiding seafood. While the setting has undeniable appeal, there seem to be some housekeeping concerns to consider, making it a place where managing expectations is key. In my opinion, improvements in service and maintenance could elevate its potential considerably.”
