Pleasant stay - cleanliness of room and facilities were very good. Good location. We had the last room available with a King Size bed and it was set up for those with disabilities - unfortunately the bathroom enjoyed a shower when we did. However, room was spacious.

What was great was the location being central made getting around so easy. We enjoyed a view of water outside on the deck so that was nice, we also found the beds very comfortable and a reasonable shower. The rooms were a little tired as were the stairs, hallways and perhaps the rooms were a bit too cosy and would really have liked a toaster -:). Also being summer with the use of the pool it look a little lacking in cleaning. But overall value for money so a winner.

Perfect Location

Perfect location, clean room with comfortable bed, walking distance to the wharf and restaurants. Please note that you can't check in before 2 and it seems that there are more rooms than parking places so when they are full you may not have a space.

Very disappointed.

Great location, should be a really good hotel, but expensive as stayed over Xmas and new year, Wifi completely useless, couldn’t connect, ridiculously slow speeds, keeps logging you off. Spoke to reception on a number of occasions, they know there is a problem, but IT is centrally procured and they can do nothing to fix. Not good enough in this day and age. Severely limited us as struggled to communicate with family, book excursions, etc. eventually found by chance you could sit outside library and use free wifi which was 100 times better. Also some serious defects in room due to age and lack of maintenance that left us continually having to be careful not to break fragile fixtures and fittings. Staff mostly very friendly and helpful, where they could be, and great location, but needs updating.
