Just my experience
Pros:

Good location easy to find and we had an accessible room which had a large bed ,kettle, iron and TV. The walk in shower was nice too.

Cons:

My partner and I have degenerative breath disorders so to find what we believed was mould in the bathroom was worrying, we both woke feeling very tight chested with a fair bit of coughing included .

Fresh, spacious and super staff!
Pros:

Really spacious, clean and super location. Staff were really friendly and informative of local places and things to do. Alexis was so helpful for our checking in and with our bags. Dinner was in the on site Chinese restaurant and it was SUPERB! restaurant was busy with a great buzz around the place. Breakfast was also wonderful with a wide selection to choose from. Beds really comfy and nice big shower. We had a view out to the sea and could watch the ships coming in and out. Just lovely. Will recommend.
