Pleasant stay, nice location, clean room, nice staff.
Pros:

We didn't have the breakfast so can't comment on it. The location was great, in the lovely market square and close to the castle and a lovely view of the harbour from our window. Our room was on the 3rd floor, bit of a climb but the guy working in the bar downstairs kindly carried our bags up.

Cons:

No parking facilities, but we managed to park in the harbour car park not too far away, although you had to pay for it.
