Love the bar, the location, the decor in public areas, great helpful staff. Good choice for breakfast

It was very hot when we were there and air con didn’t get cold enough. The restaurant area should now have had its makeover, it needed it. Room was tired. Parking spaces too narrow for modern cars

Fabulous.
Pros:

Having been very ill during the night before my stay, I decided to cancel through my bookings.com app, but family made it possible to still come to the hotel. I called and explained my situation and the hotel staff went above and beyond to change my booking to suit my stay without any charges. I was overwhelmed at the understanding and generosity of the stafff on reception. It was such an important booking, as my son was over from the USA and we were meeting at the Harbour where we like to stay every year. The bar staff were equally friendly and accommodating.

Cons:

Sanitary bags for ladies in the bathroom.

Love this hotel to visit family and relax in spa.
Pros:

Spa and feel of the place is like going on a holiday it has a lovely relaxed resort feel and as I fly down to see family I love I can recover in the spa area and make a whole weekend of my visit as well as enjoy some time to myself. The staff on reception are very friendly and helpful. When we reported the air con issue we were brought some ice and a fan very quickly during some very hot weather.

Cons:

Our air con if there was any wasn’t working and the room was unbearably hot. We were brought ice and a fan quick but what we discovered was the bathroom heater was on! It made it uncomfortable to sleep but it was pretty hot weather. I think it would have been good that Roman were being checked by maintenance during this hot spell to ensure guests were comfortable before.
