We were pleasantly surprised with the fantastic atrium in the middle of the hotel, which our balcony overlooked. The room was clean, tidy and spacious. The hotel staff were fantastically welcoming, friendly and helpful. A great base for our stay in Douglas, close to local pubs, bars and restaurants, which was perfect.
