Overall excellent stay for us.
Pros:

Overall we found the staff to be friendly and helpful and the room very clean and comfortable. For us the location was excellent, close to shops and the esplanade. We found the hotel and area quiet at night.

Cons:

The only downside was the lack of storage area for your clothes.
For example, the addition of bedside cabinets with drawers could have utilised that particular wasted space.
