Satisfactory stay

The staff helped with all my requests. My room had tea and coffee making facilities. This was nice (a very nice touch). I found the bed comfortable, and it helped me rest after a long day. The location was a short walk from the north pier, useful.
The parking situation was not ideal. I had to find parking around the corner.
