The location is AMAZING!!! It was very close to the historical ships. Parking on site made everything so much easier. The shower was really nice and strong. It felt wonderful after a long day.

The breakfast area seemed a bit crowded during peak hours. It was just a minor inconvenience.

cheap beddingdamaged key card

i paid for a compact king room. the room felt dark and dingy. pillows, duvet, bedding quality, kettle, and mugs seemed cheap and basic. lights didn't fully turn off without removing the key card, so we couldn't charge phones overnight without light. the key card was damaged. i didn't sleep well because scaffolding banging in the wind, buses on the road, and light coming through the blinds disturbed me.
