Great location just opposite the beach, with The Lanes behind. Two entrances which was very useful. Car parking underneath the hotel was a bonus. Wonderful views in restaurant. Very helpful staff. Negatives - bathrooms small. Would be better with just a shower not a bath. Running machines in gym looked very old and space was very tight. Lift didnt go through to the gym/pool so you had to walk through the lobby which needed to move one of the sofas to make access easier to get across to the lifts.

The property was located on the waterfront and adjacent to the Lanes and other attractions. The room was well stocked and cozy. Appreciated the nice touches! Parts of the hotel felt not kept up or clean, like the elevator from the garage and the hallways. The staff were kind and helpful!

Unlikely to return to this hotel

The beds & pillows were extremely uncomfortable. For a family room, it was an extremely small room. It was very noisy. Could hear everything from outside the hotel and from other guests. However, it was visually nice, and very clean. Service was good. It’s definitely better than a travelodge. If the beds and pillows were more comfortable, I wouldn’t have minded so much about the room size. For a couple of nights stay it wasn’t too bad and bearable but I wouldn’t stay longer than a few nights. There were security guards at night due to homeless people letting themselves in gaining entry to the hotel rooms, so after a certain time main doors were locked with security on. Or at least that’s what we were told by staff at the hotel.

The room was very little compared to the advertisement. The bathroom has mould around bath taps and bathroom sealant. Dirty carpet. Not enough water in room. Check in and check out is too early, for what we paid we didn't even stay 24 hours.
