Had a great time and good to meet friendly locals
Pros:

It was ok very busy and friendly.

Cons:

There was no taxi service either from the train station or the hotel. We had to rely on local people who we met while there to transfer us around. The staff could not help in anyway to get us a taxi back to the train station at 7.30am some locals overheard our conversation and offered to take us. You would definitely need a car. Maybe they should say on their website that taxi service is cannot be guaranteed.

Great welcome from staff and a clean comfortable room
Pros:

Lovely view of the marina and close to my family that we were visiting.Lovely restaurant on site that we love,but book before you arrive or you will be disappointed.Food excellent,service so friendly, other hotels should send their staff here to learn about hospitality.

Cons:

Our room could have done with a lick of paint and bathroom needed some small repairs and a freshen up(shower screen stiff, paintwork needed painting,sealant around sink and shower needed re sealing,only small things.
