Good location but building needs updating

5.0

It was in a good location with a nice view of the harbour. Staff was very nice.

The bed duvet had stains on it. The room had a strong smell to it. So we opened the balcony door to try get some fresh air but the highway noise was extremely loud. Expensive for what kind of place it was.
