Location
9
Location is frequently highlighted positively (harbour/marina views, handy to coastal areas and activities); very convenient for visitors.
Room Quality
7
Mixed comments: many rooms spacious and comfortable, but several specific maintenance issues (old mattress, worn carpets, bathroom doors/ventilation, TV problems, skirting damage) lower this score.
Amenities

Amenities are inconsistent: good on-site restaurant and coffee, but reports of pool and laundry out of service, empty shower dispensers, underprovisioned facilities and abbreviated restaurant hours.
Value for Money
8.7
Several guests called it good value for money and praised large/apartment-style rooms and reasonable pricing relative to what was offered.
Food and Beverage
9.3
Breakfast and restaurant repeatedly described as excellent or superb; food and beverage is a clear strength for many guests.

The bathroom needs an overhaul. Bathroom door beyond repair, extractor fan not working.

We enjoyed our two days.
Pros:

Breakfast and dinner were great. Room was a nice size and everthing was clean and tidy.

Cons:

Damage on skirting board by Air Con, TV had no TV3 and couldn't make Disney work.At a quiet time of year I would have thought there would have been another room available?

Overall our stay was good and comfortable.
Pros:

Breakfast was as good as it gets. We haven't had a breakfast that good in a restaurant anywhere. Superb.
Staff were very good
Facilities were quite tired, but clean. Underprovisioned, but anything asked for was given. Staff solved the couple of issues that arose without difficulty.

Cons:

Room were a bit tired, TV did't offer a good range, ie not sport of international news.
