“Overlooking the harbor where fishing boats bob, this hotel places you steps from the beach, shops and transport links. My experience suggests the brasserie holds its own, serving up tasty, affordable meals, and I found the breakfast selection impressive. Rooms, while practical, seem to deliver on comfort.”
