small shower tight space
I found a couple of things less than satisfactory. the room designated 'jeanne' felt small. Two individuals definitely had to maneuver carefully to avoid bumping into each other. the shower measured approximately 6060 cm. It was quite a tight squeeze. i would have preferred a larger space.

Really good Stay Near the Harbour

quiet hotel helpful fridge clean room
The location proved convenient, situated close to the waterfront area. The room was both nice and neat. I found the fridge to be a very helpful addition. The hotel maintained a beautifully quiet environment.
The room was perhaps on the smaller side, which required some careful navigation at times.
