Decent and comfortable overall, with fantastic access to local sights
Pros:

Great waterfront location and an excellent breakfast, making it a super convenient base for exploring the area.

Cons:

Housekeeping for the balcony area could be improved. Also, there was no switch to turn off the balcony light, which made it a bit annoying at night when trying to sleep.

Would be a 10 if the hotel took care of the spiders.
Pros:

Great location, loved the room and balcony.

Cons:

I did not like the spiders on the balcony. The spiders even made homes in the patio chairs and mini table. Prevented me from enjoying the balcony that I paid a lot for. Not cool.
