"Excellent small apartment hotel, great for 2 nights. Good large bed, well appointed kitchen, including washer dryer, fridge, microwave, ironing board and iron, hob and sink. Crockery and irons for 3, dish soap, cloths and tea towels! Possibly the cleanest room I have ever stopped in, it smelt new on arrival. Room was refreshed (bins emptied and new toilet roll) they don’t make your bed but you can request it. Only negative was no in room safe, but not really an issue. Easy access to busses, the waterfront and easy level walk from railway station. Perfect, would stay again"
