Late check-in was simple. I arranged it in advance, arriving after regular hours. my suite sea view room felt massive. It featured a very comfortable armchair and couch. the view overlooking the bay and promenade was beautiful, i appreciated that. i found plenty of space to store luggage. The bathroom was also great.
The elevator wasn't working and i was on the top floor. I wasn't informed ahead of time. this caused me considerable discomfort due to medical issues. There were no handrails on the stairs.

The hotel is near a spar and a fish and chip shop. I found this very convenient. while it is a bit of a walk from the ferry terminal, it's a central location on the promenade.
