Staff were great. Very accommodating. Had difficulty when paying balance as we had booked through Hotels.com Seems that website had not communicated with hotel on deposit.

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.
