Great location, quality hotel very near the cruise terminal and walking distance to restaurants/bars
Pros:

Great locations, quality room furnishings, and amenities. Friendly staff who work hard and provide good service. Breakfast was excellent too.

Cons:

There wasn't really must not to like, the only thing I would say is it would be considered quite expensive when you have to also pay for breakfast. But thats the only slight negative. However we have the cooked breakfast and it was excellent quality.

Lovely, cozy little hotel with a homely feel and kind helpful staff
Pros:

Very cozy and comfortable. Lovely staff who were helpful and accommodating.

Cons:

I don’t think guests should have to pay to use a hotel car park, felt like a hidden cost.
