Good location. Room adequate. Small patio was basic unswept and uninviting. Was not informed pool was out of action when made booking. Would not have stayed otherwise. However when the pool area is finished it looks like it will be lovely. Would try this location again in the future

Hotel staff at the reception were extremely helpful and accommodating. The room was clean, beds comfortable. Only complaint was no smart tv options like netflix. However, we could still mirror from my phone. Breakfast was enjoyable. Really good location to the city and the waterfront. Overall, it was an extremely restful stay for us. Hope to back again.
