The Shore
"Grateful for the clean, tastefully decorated room in a great location (downtown waterfront). It's an older building so it can be a bit noisy - particularly as the patrons in other rooms come in for the evening and get going in the morning."

Albert Hotel
"The hotel had been recently renovated and the design features were beautiful. It was a less than 5 minute walk from the bus station. It was a 2 minute walk to the centre of town. My sister and I would definetly recommend it to anyone. In fact we did tell people we met about it"
