Pros:

Hotel is in an excellent location, close to the sea and handy for the D Day Museum and for the Historic Docks.
Local bus services were immediately close to the Hotel.

Cons:

TV restricted movement around the room.
Toilet roll holder was in the wrong place, you could not reach it when on the toilet!
There was no toilet brush available.
There is no facility to charge Electric Razors. I had to go into the Town to buy an adapter.
