Wonderful Stay on the Coast

prime location great cleanliness varied breakfast

The seafront location was very nice, putting me right by the water. I found the hotel to be very clean . The breakfast offered a variety of choices, including both continental and cooked options. The staff were very friendly and always ready to help.

I noticed that the lift was out of service during check-in. This caused a minor inconvenience getting to my room.

small room unreliable temperature

Location was acceptable and near to shops. The staff was friendly during check-in, so I was hopeful.

The room was anything but. I booked a Standard Double Room and it felt small. The television lost sound intermittently, and the shower's temperature was unreliable. I am let down considering the price.
