Wonderful Stay with Excellent Service

friendly staffhelpful servicetasty foodworn carpet
The staff, especially Megan and Emily, were friendly and helpful. They ensured I was well looked after and were always ready to assist with anything I needed. The food was tasty and well prepared. The location offered easy access to the main street and marina (very convenient for exploring).
The corridors leading to the room looked dark and in need of some redecoration. The carpets looked worn and could benefit from replacement or deep cleaning.
Location
9/10
The hotel provides easy access to the city center, the beach, and bus stops, all within a short walk (it made getting around very simple). Its proximity to the marina also allows for quick access to various attractions and activities. This central setting enhanced my overall visit.
Rooms
8/10
My superior double room was spacious, with both a double and single bed with a lounge area that was perfect for relaxation. The room offered comfortable seating and a good view of the bay through a floor to ceiling window. The room was located on the main floor.
Dining
9/10
Breakfast included a selection of tasty cooked foods, prepared well and served hot in the conservatory area overlooking the bay. The drinks selection was good, and the on-site bar offered a pleasant atmosphere for evening relaxation (the sky TV was a bonus!). I enjoyed the meals.
