Excellent Central Stay

central location clean room generous supply

The location was very central. It was close to shops and public transport. The room was comfortable and very clean. There was plenty of coffee and tea provided, which I thought was a great touch.

The complimentary wine and champagne advertised was not offered . The pub and restaurant was closed too. This was a little disappointing as I was looking forward to dining there.

Wonderful Stay!

central location excellent communication comfortable bed parking permit

The location proved convenient, near shops and public transport. There are fewer steps from the beach. I found this particularly useful. The staff communicated excellently before my arrival. The bed was very comfortable. I received a complimentary parking permit, that was very charming.

The bathroom door had a glass panel. This impacted privacy somewhat. I found this only a very slight issue.

unexpectedly pleasant stay!

hot food convenient location spacious room reliable wifi

The staff made sure my late food order stayed hot, a really nice touch. i found the location perfect for exploring nearby attractions. Its proximity to the harbour wall was quite convenient. the room was surprisingly spacious and clean, although the shower setup was a bit different! the wifi worked well, essential for planning my days.

checking in proved a bit tricky as there was no immediate reception upon arrival.

Service

The service included considerate gestures, such as ensuring food orders remained hot despite delays. That shows attention to detail. the helpfulness extended to providing information and assistance with local attractions and transport links, i noticed.
