We stayed for 3 days sunday to wednesday,and were cery pleased with the hotel.
The room(24) was the Superuor suite and was lovely and spacious,very clean and had amazing views of the harbour. Tea coffee and biscuits were topped up daily.
There was a choice of breakfasts hot or cold, we opted for full english!
The car park is great as it is right next to the hotel, and very safe.
The location is fantastic for the naval dockyard and museums, and gunwharf keys.
Keep in mind there is a bus and rail...
