Would stay again - poolside view next time
Pros:

The room wasn't huge, and it faced the road - but I was only there for one night. The heater worked a treat and meant I could dry an item of clothing I got dirty in front of it. Everything else there that I needed.

Cons:

The road noise was quite noticeable and it was a Sunday night - but I am a light sleeper - so others might not be bothered. I reckon if you can upgrade to the pool side view and less noise.

Pros:

It was only for an evening as we arrived late and left early to catch the ferry but the room was spacious as were the beds. We ended up with queen beds each and that was a real treat. The receptionist was lovely. Only bad thing was we only got to enjoy it for a few hours.

Pros:

Centrally located, stones throw from pubs, restaurants etc.

Cons:

The Suite although comfortable, wasn't overly clean, outside the windows was McDonald's rubbish, sliding doors hadn't been cleaned for a while.

At night a security light comes on from the building nextdoor, Edit has tried to fix this by adding extra curtains to no avail.
As a trucker who can sleep anywhere, I had trouble sleeping once that light came on as it brightens the room terribly.
