"Property was clean and staff were very friendly and helpful. It was nice to have breakfast included. Decorations were nice and common outside verandah and indoor lounge area with coffee machine and pool table were lovely too. Easy check in and nice secure and safe feel. Very short stroll to water front and cafes and pubs. Building is a little older but very good value for money. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
