Tina

Liked: Cleanliness
I booked this hotel as a pool was listed as one of the hotels facilities. Upon arriving, the receptionist said that there was no pool. This hotel is still listed as having access to a pool, so I'm not sure where the pool was. The receptionist wasn't forthcoming with the details. The breakfast was plentiful and the parking very cheap.The proximity to Gun Wharf a bonus. The day we stayed the roof leaked due to a storm (October), and there was no heating or hot water. We were given a late check out as compensation. An okay stay marred by the leak and no pool.

In need of a refurbishment…..
This hotel is in dire need of a refurbishment. Tired, dated and dingy rooms - my son asked me if I was in hospital - he was spot on - it was like being on a side ward. Staff were lovely and friendly and the breakfast was really good.

Good value and location
Room was comfortable and spacious enough for our needs. Breakfast was plentiful, although it had been sat for a while before we ate (towards the end of the sitting). Good value.
