We booked twin room for a smaller bedroom and could use wake-up service, available in it. Thoroughly enjoyed that we had an electric kettle, central heating, and a TV. The location offered was great and brilliant close enough to a very nice area, the seafront and the coach station, Hovercraft port and wall on the other side of the road. Also, this hotel was situated 3 km from tourist destination like North Shore.
