The hotel is a beautiful historical building just opposite the sea front. I appreciated the bar, the library, and especially the pool room. I also found them very responsive. They quickly fulfilled my request for an additional small bed. The value for the price was Really good!!!
The bathroom lacked an extractor fan. This was a VERY small inconvenience.

I appreciated the staff responsiveness when I needed a fan. The location is convenient. Free parking spaces are available adjacent to the building.
The pillows felt flat and hard. The mattress was thin. The double bed was quite small, particularly for a suite.
