"The room is very spacious and clean, the bed and pillows are very comfy , my only negative is that that the rooms and the hotel is very warm, but it is an old hotel so probably retains the heat all our rooms had pedestal fans which was a nice bonus."

Mixed Feelings About This Hotel

The location was undeniably convenient for accessing nearby amenities.

The noise level was REALLY disruptive. It was excessive at night and made it hard to sleep well (even with earplugs).

The breakfast offers good choice for the price I paid, but not good. But it's edible. the sausages at breakfast tasted like cheap supermarket quality sausages with little meat. cornflakes tasted vile.

The location was directly on the seafront. It was acceptable.

My room was quite small. The bathroom seemed even smaller, needing some strategic maneuvering to use the toilet without my legs hitting the sink.
