Great location for the harbourside area. We attended a concert there and only had to walk 200 yards to be right in the heart of things. Hotel was clean, comfortable and the staff were very polite and helpful. A big bonus was a car park adjacent to the hotel and the fact that hotel guest had a reduced charge for parking. The bed was very comfortable and the bathroom had a great shower. Considering its location, the room was very quiet due to the hotel's configuration.
