Ok, thats the best I can say.
It was ok. The hotel needs some updating. The walls in our room had hand marks of self tan all up one wall, paint badly chipped, furniture well worn, stains on the carpets. I normally stay in Claytons for work and they've been great. I wouldn't stay here again.

The room was dirty and the shower & sink were not cleaned before I used them. - I wish I had taken pictures. Air conditioning was very noisy so couldn’t sleep with it on . The room was cold in the morning and the heating did not work. The gym is tiny and needs upgrading and expanding. I ordered a beer at the bar and was told they didn’t have a keg available. The breakfast is very crowded and only 2 coffee machine which are painfully slow and constantly need to be fixed by the staff. Please go back to making pots of coffee for your guests.

A little far out
A little far out from the Shop Street/ marina area but the drive isn’t bad. The toilet did not flush, we had to use the bucket from the bathroom waste bin to pour water down the toilet to help it flush. It did have a bathtub/shower combo. Overall decent stay. I think if we ever go back we’ll get a hotel closer to the marina.
