A standard chain hotel, suitable for business people. No character or charm. Staff professional and efficient. Location on waterfront, and easy walk to most of the main sights but next to motorway. Very busy area with a lot of noise from tourists (bouncy castle with screaming children) and traffic such as ambulances with sirens. Room was shabby, scuffed furniture, damaged wallpaper. Had the expected facilities - good bed, crisp linen and soft towels, TV, minibar etc - but some eccentricities - mini bar was in a cupboard behind a TV on a stand, toilet roll holder somewhere behind your left shoulder made it difficult to reach the paper, shower not very powerful and shower head flopped down unless it was propped. Extensive breakfast but cooked dishes looked unappealing (scrambled egg looked positively unpleasant). Dinner menu didn't tempt us.
