Great location but tired
Pros:

The locations and the view of the harbour plus the staff were lovely if a little overwhelmed - see below

Cons:

It is a tired hotel and needs a complete refurb - that said it was clean and everyone was obviously trying to do their best.
The breakfast was very busy, the staff were doing their best but the amount and quality the food was lacking.

Worn/dirty, don’t usually nit pick but I thought about asking for a different room.
Pros:

I loved the location and the staff were phenomenal. Especially the breakfast waitresses, they work so hard!

Cons:

The room felt worn even though it was clean, the shower grout felt dirty. The wallpaper looks shoddy and the headboard was damaged/peeling. The air vent had visible large dust bunnies and the metal on plate looked dirty.
