This is a hotel of contradictions, room was pretty average but clean and the location was great/safe. Stonebreakers breakfast and special event food was actually pretty good for a hotel restaurant. Had some issues with billing, room key malfunctions, and relatively thin walls... but the staff was extremely friendly and went out of their way to try to resolve them all. A huge thanks to Zoe at the front desk for all her help resolving our issues, she personally deserves 5/5 stars. One thing I wish they could fix is the loud screaming seagulls every morning, tough way to start your day. Overall good, but could be great.
