My stay at the hotel was a mixed bag. The rooms were clean, quiet, and comfortable, providing a peaceful retreat from a tough trip. However, the older bathtub had a tendency to flood while showering, which was a bit inconvenient. The staff, on the other hand, were excellent, polite, and accommodating, which totally blessed me during my stay.

The service was pleasant and helpful, and the location was convenient for exploring the downtown area. The dining experience was satisfactory with a variety of food choices. Overall, a reasonable option for a one-night stay.

The location was convenient for exploring various destinations and activities, enhancing the overall experience. The dining offered a good variety of food choices, including a satisfying full English breakfast. However, the lack of informative details on local attractions was a downside.

7.6/10

The hotel is perfect for those who enjoy being at the edge of the action, a short walk away from the charming Maffeo Sutton Park and central to the waterfront. The rooms are spacious, well-equipped, and provide a peaceful retreat, but there is occasional noise transfer. The service is friendly and helpful, though some details were missed. The dining offers a variety of food options but can get crowded, especially before 10 AM. Overall, a nice stay with great value for money.
