It had a great feel and the restaurant was quite good. The main negative was the peeling paint in the bathroom and room was quite warm due to lack of air flow. But all in all a great stay. Would recommend.

The view from our room was lovely. Staff was accommodating. Nice to have the bar and restaurant in the same place. Just don’t understand why there is no face cloth. Also the green light in the room is very bright and that prevented sleep. There is shopping and sight seeing around the place. Should mention them as many visitors are not from there. Overall we loved it, would go there again and recommend it to others.

Nice close to restaurants

Nice spot by the pier. Very convenient for my business trip. The room was clean and comfortable. The hotel is situated over a pub but it wasn't noisy for me and was a nice spot for a nightcap.
