Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers large, modern, and comfortable rooms at the back of the property. While room servicing is only done every 3rd day without a reduction in the daily rate, the bathroom sink can be tricky to fill. The service is exceptional, with ultra-friendly staff going to extreme measures to accommodate guests. The location is excellent, providing easy access to shopping, the waterfront, and various dining options, although the constant noise from a nearby Drive Through Bottle Shop can be an issue. The dining options are satisfying, especially for breakfast. Overall, a convenient and comfortable stay with minor drawbacks.
I had a fantastic stay at this hotel. The rooms were comfortable, and I enjoyed a delicious meal at the pub with extremely helpful and friendly staff. The location was perfect, right in the center of town, and I even got to catch up with friends in the front bar. However, the dining experience could be improved, and filling the kettle from the bathroom tap was a bit tricky.
The hotel is conveniently located near helpful services and features friendly staff. The rooms offer comfort and essential amenities, but noise from outside could be bothersome, especially when parking a larger vehicle. The community feel and vintage bar add to the welcoming atmosphere. However, issues with soundproofing and parking accessibility due to disabilities are present. The location, although near some noisy elements, is still fantastic, being housed in a charming, renovated historic building. The dining experience and facilities are enjoyable, encouraging further exploration of the town.
