Reviewer Type: Solo Traveller
Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: Very good location for visiting the main sights. Friendly staff. Excellent eating/entertainment options.
Negative: Some facilities need updating - eg there are no charging facilities for phones etc by the bed; a walk-in shower should replace the shower in the bath, which can be difficult for elderly or infirm people to use (though the safety rail is appreciated).
Summary: Suberb location and very good f&b options
