Best Western Plus Port O'Call Hotel
"You can't actually use the pool here. Despite the listed amenities showing you can from 8am -10pm they make you reserve one hour only ahead of time. Very annoying and disappointing. Makes travelling with little kids very frustrating. Just stay somewhere else where you can actually use things as advertised. ..."
