"Stayed Nov 26 for 3 nights.
Great location, 5/10 mins walk to waterfront. Staff are lovely, very friendly.
Had room at back with mountain view which was fab however was also delivery/staff entrance and they were incredibly noisy (shouting, beeping etc) during early hours. Breakfast good. Room very clean but decor definitely looking a little tired."
