Like it, would love a Smart TV to make it great!
Pros:

Location, harbour views, 100% block-out curtains. Cool restaurant with great food and friendly staff!

Wou

Cons:

The TV in the room does not support any form of streaming or connectivity. So used to log into my Netflix or AppleTV account, it is almost strange not to have that functionality. Smart TV is a must!

Pros:

Room service was efficient. Breakfast was good. Reception was friendly.

Cons:

Bathroom was too small. Shower head was below my eye line and far too low for a normal person to use safely and the shower door didn't close which led to flooding on the bathroom floor. Shower soap was difficult to dispense as it kept falling over on the rack. TV and A/C is very old.
