harbor view stay

powerful shower single room friendly staff
the staff showed me around quickly after i arrived and explained how to access the pub from my room. i got a single room and loved the shower because it was hot and powerful. even though i woke up late the staff still made me a cuppa and got my breakfast so i was grateful.
the noise from the pub below continued after closing time so it was difficult to sleep. neighboring rooms were also noisy with people talking and going in and out repeatedly. i expected some noise because it is a pub but it went on until midnight.

the breakfast was quite good (I especially liked the bacon). the location was also convenient to the harbour area and various shops.
The room showed some signs of wear. It could use some updating. the shared bathroom was basic. It was not the most appealing to use the shower.
