My stay was very nice, everything in my room was clean and tidy, bed was nice and comfy and the tea and coffee selection
Pros:

Room was warm and clean, bed was really comfortable. Bathroom and shower were good. Nice and close to town, alot of things in walking distance.

Cons:

The heater wasn’t very warm, would be nice with a heat pump or something instead of a little plug in heater. Didn’t want to run that little heater too long.

Okay, but not good value, a no frills budget hotel not at a budget price.
Pros:

Having EV charger on sites. Restaurant was closed. Had very noisy neighbours until about 10pm.

Cons:

Nothing particularly wrong, just all felt a bit tired 1980s and as such not particularly good value.

The Hotel was close to city and beach, clean and tidy .
Pros:

The hotels proxity to the city was good. Close to the beach and port. It was quiet and warm with a view of the port facilities.

Cons:

The bed has been very well used, and possibly needs to be updated as it sagged towards the middle. The car parking is quite unusual, with car spaces oddly placed having to circumnavigate the building to access.
