Harbour House Hotel
Window near bathroom had a light shining in all night. Adding a curtain would help. One switch that turns on the bathroom light and vent at the same time was annoying. You could be in the bathroom without hearing the annoying fan running. Seafood restaurant outside of our room stank so fish all day ...

Auberge Burgundy Guest House
Harbour Square Hotel
Preferred. Sea view considering the hotel was reasonably quiet it would have been nice to be upgraded. Reception gal was less than inviting and room was so small there was no place to open our bags.
