A new opening set amid a line of restaurants, the Menendi's spotless rooms feature crisp, neutral decor enlivened with nautical touches. Ask for a room at the back to negate the minimal chance of noise, and look forward to breakfast in the downstairs cafe. If you're driving a car, there's a handy council-owned car park a short walk away.
