Never stay here
The ship was very disappointing. The bathroom almost flooded when using the shower because of clogged up hair in the drain that had not been cleaned. The bedsheets were stained. A fire alarm then went off at 4am and no staff on site to support us. We were due to leave for London at 6am so no point trying to get back to sleep. When we asked for a refund, hotels.com told us the ship had refused to pay it. Steer clear of this property. The worst service I’ve had.

One Night Stay.
Perfectly adequate for a one night stay. But, unless one knows the area, getting to it via Sat Nav is challenging, and the local parking is a nightmare!:.

Very noisy road, double glazing needed
Nice lively place the staff in the bar are outstanding. The big issue is the outside noise. Bin men waking you up at 05:45 is not my idea of fun. Very noisy area

Good room, but noisy at night. Need some double glazing because got almost no sleep with the shouting, fights and arguing outside the window from everyone pouring out of the clubs.
