This is our fifth stay in the Martello and it never fails to impress us. The beautiful rooms and excellent food was as usual perfect. We enjoyed the comedy festival also and will definitely be back.

Fantastic Place To Stay
We arrived on New Year's Day. Our room was clean, the staff was friendly and the beds were very comfortable. The bar area was great too. My only negative was having to lug my bag upstairs, but it was a small price to pay for great accommodations. I would definitely stay here again.
