A great location and a perfect view from the hotel room that we had. The service was good, a great breakfast and a nice pint of beer. All in all, this is a recommend and it did take us by surprise how decent it was for our one night stay.

The location of the hotel is very good and the parking lot is large. Facing the bay and port, the scenery is beautiful. The room is not big and the overall feeling is rather old, but the price/performance ratio here is very high

We paid for a superior room with sea view. The room size was great but oh dear. A towel was
Placed on the sash window to stop wind howling in. The towel Was damp and smelling. The curtains were stained with dampness. Staining and damp above the window. If this was a superior room. I’d hate to see a standard room. The room had a stour smell. Fan in toilet didn’t work and there was no window. Staff were nice especially boy in the bar.
Wouldn’t return here.

Beautiful facade. Lacking in drinks and food, nearby local places are good though. Rooms have some cobwebs, some staff was friendly to advise on local places and how to get around. Some were not.

Great location. Brilliant staff. Building and interior very dated. Every floor board on all levels creaked badly. Breakfast was good ,
