excellent stay
seafront location complimentary water quick service
i found street parking easily near the seafront location. the room included complimentary water and biscuits daily. i enjoyed the breakfast very much, and the service was quite quick. i also had dinner once, finding it tasty.
the lack of communication between kitchen, front of house staff, and customers created a chaotic atmosphere. the wait times were long and stressful. this happened during a time when i wanted to relax after a long day traveling.
