This is an excellent location. Minutes from the marina, aquarium (well worth the visit) and shopping. There are a lot of great upgrades and this is very clean. The staff was ultra friendly and could not have been more accommodating. This is truly a mom and pop 5 star hotel, and make sure you engage with Peter. You will feel the pride and caring he has in his hotel.

Unfortunately there was no internet in the room resulting in excessive data usage, this also meant the smart tvs did not work and only standard channels available. The noise of the aircon unit was excessive. And the wind (which is beyond the hotels control) resulted in rattling sliding doors for the balcony all Saturday night. There was also a spring in the bed that was felt multiple times during our stay.
