Reviews and Ratings
The hotel has really gone downhill with noisy and small rooms, but surprisingly comfortable. The service was friendly and accommodating, despite some problems. The location was great for visiting the Marina and town. The dining experience was good, but not value for money at times.
My stay at the hotel started off a bit rough as I wasn't offered a refund for early check-in, leaving me hot and flustered. The room location directly above the sports bar was a downside as it disturbed my sleep at 5 am. However, the hotel's central location was great for exploring the town.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were spacious and clean, but I found the receptionist rude during check-in. The location was convenient, but the constant noise outside was bothersome. The dining was a highlight with fantastic value, although I couldn't enjoy the restaurant fully. The facilities were satisfactory.
I had a great stay at this hotel with a fantastic Blue Cross deal of £80 for dinner, bed, and breakfast for two. The room was cozy and had all I needed, including a very comfortable bed and an en-suite with a spacious shower cubicle. However, the room was quite warm, and the noise from outside made it hard to sleep even with the window closed.
I had a great stay at this hotel. The rooms were warm and clean, with a king-size bed and a great breakfast served promptly by friendly staff. However, the hotel's location above a taxi rank on a Saturday night could be noisy. Overall, a cozy and inviting atmosphere.
The hotel offers lovely rooms, but the location may not be ideal due to nearby noise. The service is outstanding, and the dining experience is mixed. Overall, a convenient place to stay with some minor drawbacks.
