Everything was very good, had a relaxing stay for a night. The staff were exceptionally pleasant, doing great job. This was my 2nd stay, they offered suite. The setting was fantastic, near to restaurants or nearby entertainment, Portland Castle and D-Day and Omaha beach. Again, it was near a vastly entertaining and educational museum.
