Great for a short, simple stay.
Pros:

Staff are very helpful and accommodating and there is a space to wait if you’re boarding a cruise in the afternoon. 12pm checkout is a huge plus as well.

No air conditioning.
Pros:

Closeness to the cruise pier

Cons:

The a/c was broken and wouldn’t be fixed for another week. The instructions for the alternative “air handler” didn’t work after 2 hours of waiting. I went to the front desk because the phone wasn’t working and after telling the reluctant maintenance person it wasn’t working he had to follow me up to see for himself. “Oh must be a fuse”. Never was fixed. He also couldn’t fix the phone which I discovered there was an on/off switch on the wall.

Friendly, handy, economical and brand appropriate.
Pros:

Good selection on the continental breakfast table, which was well laid out and easy to self serve. Staff were friendly and helpful and a real credit to the business. Room was comfortable and online with expectations of the price and 'budget' styled accommodation. Location was excellent for the train station and city centre facilities.

Cons:

A little noisy in the early hours of the morning, but this was due to taxis dropping off in the carpark and outside sources - the hotel itself was quiet and calm within.
