Great location and helpful staff!

friendly staffhelpful stafffree parkingcosy atmosphere
The staff was friendly and helpful. I found the location great. It was an easy walk to the north pier area. I liked I managed to park on the free parking in front of the hotel. The hotel was cosy and warm during my February visit.
The lift was not working, so it was unsuitable for disabled guests.
