Great place to stay
Pros:

Our room was actually 2 rooms and very comfortable looking out over the harbour. The hotel is on the main street close to the port, tours companies, restaurants and shops. The staff was friendly and accomodating. Breakfast included and quite good with buffet amd a la carte choices.

Cons:

The elevator broke down for a couple of hours and we had to walk up to the 5th floor but was fixed pretty quickly.
