Pros:

Nice clean room, lovely comfortable bed. Staff were all very nice and friendly. And attentive

Cons:

Very loud music being played in the bar across the road from the hotel. When I got out of the taxi in front of the hotel, there were a lot of drunk people standing around. Blocking you going into the hotel. Not very nice after a long day of travelling from Dublin.

Central and Comfortable
Pros:

Very friendly and helpful team.
We had a two night stay and breakfast was included which made this great value at £185. The room was clean and comfortable. Only issue was night heat with no air-conditioning and no car parking facilities at hotel. The hotel has an arrangement for discounted parking with a local provider.
Happy to return.

Pros:

Great location, comfy beds. Staff were very friendly and helpful. The room I booked wasn't available, however they immediately rectified that at no further cost. Hotel was spotless and no noise issues even though it's on a main road and stayed during the maritime festival

Cons:

It's a maze. Finding the rooms are okay, but it took me a minute to find the lift again on the way out
