The hotel rooms were of a good size and clean. Although they smelt funny and were really hot at 22:30, they might just be suitable for emergency social housing.

The service was friendly and attentive. We were offered tea or coffee and given recommendations to enjoy a nice view without the sun. However, there was a situation with a staff member being reprimanded in the lobby when trying to help an elderly lady.

The location was excellent, right on the seafront with easy access to the town and pier. However, that's where the positives ended.

The dining experience was average. The buffet had a decent selection, but nothing stood out as exceptional. The coffee was below average, and the fried egg wasn't well done.

The hotel had spacious rooms, but noise from the staircase and pigeons outside were a bit of a nuisance. The friendly service was slightly affected by poor management. Its excellent location near the pier and town center was ideal for sightseeing. The dining experience was satisfactory but with room for improvement.

My stay at the hotel was fantastic! The location was perfect, just right at the seaside and close to everything I needed. The room was clean and well-equipped, but could use a little touch-up in terms of decoration. The service was outstanding, especially their attention to my partner's dietary needs. The dining experience was lovely, with a great buffet breakfast. Overall, a great value for money.

The hotel had a dreadful view, but the rooms were tidy and clean, albeit needing some decoration touch-ups. The shower room was a bit narrow, but the bed was comfortable. Unfortunately, hot water was a late addition during my stay. The service was lacking, with staff not respecting our disabled requests and showing a lack of care for customer service, including some shouting incidents. The location was excellent for accessing the town and pier, with easy parking. The dining experience offered a buffet style with a good food selection, although not my personal favorite choice. The facilities were adequate but not outstanding.

The hotel is located right at the front with plenty of windows looking out to the sea, offering a unique view. The rooms were tidy and clean, although a touch-up in the decoration would be beneficial. The shower room was a bit narrow, limiting space, but the location was excellent, especially for those wanting a seaside experience.
