Nice room with Jacuzzi bath.
The room was nice and big with a comfortable bed and a large bathroom with a Jacuzzi bath. We had a good night’s sleep and felt rested in the morning. Very convenient location for the WMC and the restaurants in the Bay.

Room 137 directly above restaurant/bar - noisy until well after midnight. Great breakfast and comfortable otherwise - just asknif your room is above the bar!

Okay stay but wouldn’t stay again
Was an okay stay, probably wouldn’t stay again, wall paper was peeling off the walls in a few areas, after having a shower the paint was coming off the ledge, bed was okay, pillows a bit hard, booked a king room which was 2 single beds pushed together with 2 single mattresses, room was really cold for a few hours after checking in bathroom was freezing, we did had an extra room heater.

Pleasant last minute night away
Grabbed a last minute break away. Staff were friendly and hotel was nice with lots of history. Booked breakfast can’t say it was excellent just average hotel buffet. They could do with labels on maybe a tray to sit tea and coffee jugs on as unless you ask staff you don’t know which is which.
