Emerald Hotel
The rooms we were allocated were very spacious, well provisioned, clean and tidy. The only issues we had was having to fill the jug from the bathroom basin and all of the lifts were not working.

Portside Hotel
Room was nice. Main reason I marked the rating down to good was the noise coming from the Port all night, it didn’t stop and the banging was very loud.
