Excellent Seaside Experience
helpful staffconvenient locationdated bathroom
The staff were helpful throughout MY stay. I appreciated that everyone was friendly and approachable. I enjoyed the convenient location near the promenade. The room was lovely. It had a good size.
The ensuite bathroom felt dated, IT needed an update. I noticed chipped enamel in the bath, which could use better cleaning. The shower head wasn't movable.

Superb Seaside Stay
seafront locationdiscounted parkingample spacesound insulation
The hotel enjoys a great location directly opposite the sea. I secured discounted parking through reception. The Family Room had ample space and provided good ventilation with two large windows. A hairdryer was available in the bathroom, which I appreciated.
Sound insulation in the room proved inadequate, resulting in considerable external noise.
Dining
9/10
Although I did not partake, an English breakfast got offered. Prices are reasonable, and I noted good service. The hotel currently only serves breakfast, so you must find other options for dining.
Service
8/10
Staff are helpful and polite. I found the service pleasant, and they were willing to address requests. I observed the receptionist assisting with parking vouchers. This ensures convenient parking.
