Generally, good quality/value ratio. Nothing fancy, but good location makes it a perfect place for short stays. Cleaning could be better and the room alone required some finishing, but overall experience was OK.

there are very few staff around so ifyou have a problem, it makes it difficult, its very much long term accommodation, rather than for a holiday. the kitchen facilities are fantastic, however the shower in my room was quite bad! but the the location is fantastic, very close to the water and...
