“Its position is undeniably central, a real draw for those arriving by tunnel or heading towards the continent, with the harbour and seafront a stone's throw away. Rooms, while varied in their modernity, often feel well-equipped for the price, featuring thoughtful touches like ironing facilities and hairdryers. The dining, particularly breakfast, consistently impresses with abundant, tasty choices, and the overall value proposition makes it a practical consideration for many.”
