Hotel was excellent, clean, looks like quite recently done up. Staff all very friendly and helpful. No lifts, but staff offered to carry luggage to room. Food in restaurant was delicious and very reasonable. It was actually cheaper eating in Hotel than other places round about. Still high season at end of September. Was a bit dissapointed in breakfast cereal choice, as all i could find was cereal boxes. Last morning after breakfast, I found granola in a high up, top wooden bowl, with dried fruit, next to fruit juices! I'm too short to see into the top bowl! Good choice cooked breakfast.

We appreciated having a safe, clean room in a convenient location and a nice view of the marina. That being said, the towel warmer in the bathroom didn’t work and it had poor ventilation, so there was evidence of mold on the ceiling. There was also very poor sound proofing (everything was audible) and the floors were somehow not flat at all in that there were noticeable dips. All in all, it was an alright, safe place to stay for a night.

Though our stay was short due to other delays in our journey the staff were great and friendly. Check in was a breeze and by the sounds of it we missed a fantastic karaoke night. Wish we could have stayed longer.

The food was hideous at breakfast and dinner- the room door didn’t lock and the decors was shabby. The staff largely appeared to be ‘over’ having guests and have not understood the meaning of hospitality

The rooms for a single person looked great but if you wanted to use the toilet one had to sit at almost 45 degrees on the seat as the sink unit was in front. This has recently been refurbished and surely just a bit more thought and planning could have been applied for the sake of the guests in the long term. After a long days travel we went to the bar to relax and found it to be dog friendly so were surrounded by the creatures, it was not to our liking so our money was spent elsewhere, this would not be allowed in a food establishment or bar in our locale. the property is almost next to the ferry terminal so do not add extra time to get to or from.
