The shared area was lovely. The fridge was a little full, but apart from that, everything else was great. The hot tub is a must! The reception team were also very kind and helpful.

Clean and comfortable room, but a little on the small side. Great location by harbor, but limited to street parking if you have a car.

Center Hotels Plaza
Decent hotel in a convenient location. I was surprised at the poor insulation - window and electrical outlets allowed significant flow of cold air through them.
