Great location for business trip warm and cosy

I really like this hotel. Its well placed for working in the area and despite being right next to the quay it is well insulated and very quiet. On the night I stayed it was blowing a gale but I felt very warm and cosy and the staff made me feel very welcome.

Good hotel,very clean, Only thing that was a dissapointing was the service in the restaurant very very slow for dinner service and breakfast service was slow and on more than one occassion we had either been forgotten about or give wrong breakfast and it wasnt because it was busy.

Safe, quiet, convenient

The hotel was very easy and accommodating - a convenient stopover on a longer trip overall. The room was generously sized and well appointed. Shower pressure was awesome! Service at breakfast was a bit off, but not a big deal. Overall, a good value.

Great location, but hotel needs some updating and maintenance. Staff is wonderful, but bathroom sink won't drain, door lock falling apart and loose carpet forms tripping hazards in halls. Great views, nice town.
