"Fabulous stay at the Fort"

9.0

The space was great the bed was comfy had my children with me and there was plenty of space for all of us.

The TV in the living room of room 7 didn't work neither did the dishwasher and handy towels or a hand towel was missing out of the toilet area.

"This wasn’t a great choice for me."

8.0

Common areas, bathrooms, and sleeping room were clean.

The hallway and room reeked of cigarette smoke. The room was sparse—perhaps a few hooks or a towel rack would have been handy. Felt cold—there is no staff available in person.

"A beautiful, clean place in a great location."

9.0

The interior and overall look of The Fort is beautiful. The facilities were clean, tidy, and well looked after, and we had everything we needed during our stay, so there was no need to contact staff at all. The location is great too, we enjoyed walking to Caroline Bay and back. Would happily stay again.

The only downside was that the walls are a bit thin, and we could hear people talking in the corridors and nearby rooms.
