Comfortable stay near the harbour

I found a convenient parking spot close to the entrance on arrival. The hotel gave me a family room, so I had plenty of room to move around. The room was clean and had everything I needed, including a nice hot shower. I was able to easily walk to the historic dockyard and Gunwharf Quays for sightseeing (it's a great area to explore).
The room decor was a bit outdated.

great stay near the docks

various optionsfriendly staffquick check-inair conditioning
i just spent three nights here and found several aspects quite excellent. the breakfast included various options such as cereal toast and cooked items. the staff were generally friendly and check-in was quick and efficient. i also appreciated the hotel's proximity to local amenities like the coop and tesco express.
the lack of air conditioning was a slight issue. i relied on a fan with windows open for ventilation. however the open windows were secured with a lock limiting the opening to just a few inches.

Solid Choice Near the Harbour

discount voucherclean roomcute staffstrange policy
I found parking was available near the hotel. I secured a discount voucher from reception for the dockyard parking opposite the hotel. The room was clean, and the staff were cute at all times.
I did notice the hotel is starting to show some age, and an update would make a big difference. The inability to charge purchases to the room seemed strange to me. I hope they update this policy soon.
