It suits couples and families who want full facilities and an easy walk into town. The property lists a spa, gym, pool, restaurant, terrace and family rooms. Guests describe a friendly, professional team and a warm welcome.
Skip it if you are renting a car and want simple, free parking. Guests say valet help is convenient, but on-site spaces are limited and you pay for them. Skip it too if the lowest price is the goal, since our Budget pick costs less than half.

What guests say
The staff and the setting get the praise. Reviews describe a friendly, professional team, attentive service and a warm welcome. The waterfront position close to the marina and town centre is a recurring plus.
Parking is the recurring gripe. The valet service helps, but spaces on site are few and come at a cost. Room size and noise have not been assessed, so read recent reviews for your room type.
