Close To Everything.

How Many More Stairs?.
Manning’s is Grade II listed historic building and does not have a lift. Some guests with rooms on the third floor found the steps a bit difficult to manage and warned that the elderly and those with small children should ask for rooms on the lower floors. Guests also complained about warm and stuffy rooms and the lack of air conditioning.
negative:
Garrulous Gulls.
Guests at Mannings were not enamoured of the gulls and complained that the noise from fighting, sqawking birds kept them awake at night. Obnoxious bird behaviour wasn’t confined to nightime either. Loud and unusually persistant gulls dive bombed guests as they were leaving the hotel and generally created a nuisance. The birds weren’t entirely to blame for a less than relaxing stay at Mannings though. Late night revelers, chiming clocks and noisy kitchen extractor fans also kept some guests awake.
negative:
Wimpy Wi-Fi.
Some guests complained that the Wi-Fi was poor at best, others said that it didn’t work at all.
