Great stay, right on the water front, a little spenny but consistent and decent quality
Pros:

the staff work extremely hard to deliver standards, especially during breakfast shift they are running on all cylinders, they are well organised and professional even when its busy, the cleaning staff are doing an incredible job too.

Cons:

the stairway to the rooms is a bit haggard with water seeping through and ballooning in the cieling, this will need fixing before it weakens the cement and the gym could do with a bit of an upgrade with a few more loose bits like bar and kettle bells

Wonderful position, professional staff and an enjoyable breakfast to start your day.
Pros:

I liked how professional, polite and helpful the staff were. It did not matter if you were at reception, having breakfast or in your room, the staff were always a delight to talk to and always ensured you were happy with everything.

Cons:

The only thing I did not like was the shower. It was a shower in the bath tub. When you are prone to falling over, they can be a real hazard. To their credit, they did get me a bath mat to prevent me slipping in the shower.
