Nice place to stay. Only stayed one night, but was a great spot for the night. Central location and easy parking. The staff are super nice. One thing to note, they only have stairs so if you have loads of luggage of having accessiblity issues, this is something you should note (although im pretty sure thats mentioned on their listing).

Great hotel, highly recommend

We were really pleased with our stay. The rooms were excellent and bathroom was very modern. The staff member that checked us in and served at the bar was very friendly and helpful and we enjoyed a wee drink and game of UNO in the lounge. Would highly recommend

Loved how central to shops and water front and restaurants/takeaway, my only gripe would be across from a bar that got a little rowdy , to be expected as it was the weekend,

Excellent hotel for a short stay. We didn't book breakfast but the dining and bar area looked good..It was low season so it was quiet.
