Although the hotel is soon to close (Aug 2026??) for renovation and some decor could do with refreshing, it was very clean, well located and good value for money.

Amazing location and lovely staff. You can’t beat it for proximity to the Cruise Ship Terminal.
The location is amazing. Absolutely perfect for our pre-cruise night. Nice, large lobby - great for a big family gathering. Rooms a little small, but comfortable beds.
