The staff were lovely and very friendly. The location was good being only a 10 minute walk from Gunwarf Quayes. The pool is a great leisure facility. We stayed for 1 night in room 113. The room was clean and spacious however a couple of things were not fit for purpose and needed replacing. The mattress on the right hand side of the bed had a big dip in it and was like sleeping in a hammock - very uncomfortable. There were also crunchy brown bits in the kettle which (despite rinsing them out) kept reappearing each time the kettle was boiled.

Great place to stay - so close to Gunwharf Quays and the Dockyard. Staff so lovely and even though limited parking the car park across the road made it super easy. Will def stay again.

A perfectly fine stay for a decent price

I had a comfortable room. The standard sized double was fine for me and comfortable with decent sheets, pillows and duvet. It had a desk as well as a comfortable chair - always a bonus. Generous tea, and coffee with biscuits were welcome. The shower was an older Mira style over the bath but worked OK. I was slightly disappointed that no shower gel was provided. There is a bar of soap and shampoo provided however. Overall a perfectly fine stay for a decent price
