The staff were friendly and helpful. The room was nice, large and had everything needed. The bathroom was small but adequate, the linens were large and fluffy. The breakfast, which was extra, we felt was good for the price paid. And consisted of cold items and a menu of hot items.

A good place to stay for access to the port. Near to the railway station too. A functional hotel near to eateries and shops. Street Parking is accessible for £1 an hour for a maximum of 2 hours then free from 6pm to 9am the next day. We didn’t have breakfast so cannot comment on that. Staff pleasant and responsive.
