Stayed here for 5 nights whilst visiting my son. Room was excellent with a small cooking area (two ring hob, microwave, fridge and coffee machine - coffee pods topped up every day). Very comfy bed. Location is excellent, about 5 minutes walk from the nearest tram stop, around 10 minutes to the city centre and 5 minutes to the sea front. Staff extremely helpful and welcoming. Will definitely stay here again.
