"La chambre était grande et le lit confortable. Nous avons apprécié le fait d’avoir à notre disposition 2 bouteilles d’eau embouteillées. L’hôtel est très bien situé si vous devez prendre l’avion le lendemain mais très loin du centre-ville et cela nous convenait. Nous avons souper au bar car le restaurant était bondé et c’était tout de même convenable."

"Large hotel stuated across from the pier,parking at the rear for about 40 cars or so at £6 a day. Excellent buffet breakfast at £10 which is very popular with the guests. Staff are very helpful and courteous. The hotel is an old hotel and quite obviously needs some renovations and maintenance but I would stay here again, its in a really good location and comparing it to other hotels its very popular and very reasonably priced."
