Nice room, great view.
Room was spacious, with a balcony, lovely sea view. Good place to stay for a night.
There only appeared to be one lift working, which meant quite a wait especially has most people had luggage.

A bit of a curate egg!
In general a good hotel, a bit worn in decor and carpets, beds were really hard but customer service was good and friendly and we got a sea view room with balcony but not one told us about the seagull Avery/nesting sight on the roof adjacent to out room and boy are they noisy lol

Although very clean there was no mirror hanging on the wall, there was clearly a space for it. We had absolutely no hot water despite running the tap for ages. Recently refurbished room with new mattresses although these were extremely uncomfortable.

Good basic hotel. Paid extra for sea view, which was excellent, nice little balcony. Comfortable room. Good breakfast. Check-in was very busy when we arrived, but very efficient and we were checked in within about 5 minutes. Car park was very busy and we were lucky to get a space.
