This property was first off a little difficult to find. Signage was not very visible unless you were directly in front of the building. Getting to the front desk was difficult getting to having to go up a floor to get to it. A small portion of the staff was helpful, however some were not friendly and acted like they had better things to do than be helpful. The breakfast was just ok. There was no variety. The room was nice and clean, but the air conditioner was on the fritz. Had to have maintenance come up and look it over. It was fixed and the room was comfortable. My stay overall was good, not great.

Family stay
The room was really neat, but we had to ask to get the fold out bed made up, then ask for a bigger duvet for it. Staff very friendly though, and gave the family ice-cream on arrival which was nice. They also made sure we were aware of discounts we could use locally. The only negative was it was squash not juice with breakfast which was a tiny issue.

Very convenient spot, close to all amenities, great location. Felt the hotel was fine for our two night stay, felt like it needed a bit of a face lift, didn’t smell great in the hallways near the room, musty. Room was ok, apart from one thing…the bed was small for two of us and mattress not great, every time each of us moved the other one did too, really not very comfortable. Breakfast was ok. All in all, an enjoyable stay, but some improvements could be made and felt it was quite expensive taking into account the above points.

The hotel was perfectly fine. The beds were comfortable and the shower pressure was good. The building is a bit dated and the hallways could use some lighting and paint. The staff were excellent, and very friendly, attentive and helpful.

Staff really helpful and friendly. Hotel needs a bit of sprucing up though. Furniture needs updating, bed wasn’t comfortable and couldn’t shut the window. Bathroom needs updating. One night was enough.

Good not great
Our stay was good but not amazing a few silly little things just took the edge off things, we paid extra for a bigger room and views of the spinnaker tower, yet the extra space was taken up by the sofa bed being made up leaving little room let alone extra room and turns out the good view comes at a cost you’re just above a nightclub that is open until 1am on a Saturday very noisy, look this sounds a bad review it honestly isn’t the position of the hotel is fantastic and everything is generally very nice just little things make me drop a star
