Helpful friendly staff. Large clean room with good facilities. Walkable to everything and regular bus sevice to south bay. Near Peaseholm park and sea life centre. You can reserve a parking place at the hotel at an extra cost but you pay for parking everywhere so we were pleased with this. Would definitely stay here again.
