The place was a bit run down but you can’t beat the location! Right on the water, central to town. Breakfast was good. Rooms were clean. The place has obviously seen better days (clearly an older hotel) but totally fine place to stay. Plus great view of the water from the bar.

Overall the hotel is rather tired. It definitely needs a revamp, I encountered an issue with water leaking in my hotel room ! I changed rooms but it wasn’t ideal, TV wasn’t working. It was the only room available to me as an alternative. I had dinner on my 1st night but felt the menu was very limited, I didn’t enjoy the food. I doubt that I will be staying there again.

The hotel was a bit dated but wasn’t an issue overall. All areas were clean and tidy. Reception staff very friendly alas dining room staff were too busy to have time to speak. Overall a pleasant experience.
