Last minute booking for the Winter Blues Festival. Excellent service, friendly and polite and accommodating staff. Even rang me when I left my car lights on to see if they could switch them off for me. Our bed was also super comfy. Old fashioned service, make up your room daily if you require. Easy walk into the main part of town and to the wharf. No complaints. Would stay again. Thank you
