Convenient and friendly

This hotel is always a good choice. Right in the heart of Gunwharf quays and the staff is very very good. Only negative is that it’s getting old and needs a bit of a mini refresher.

Amazing location to the parking and gunwharf quays outlet. Breakfast had good choice of items. Brilliant parking charges, free for first 24hrs, and then £2 for every day after. Air conditioning was not working, although this didn't affect us as it was pretty cold this bank holiday weekend anyways. Overall comfy and brilliant stay!
