New Years Eve Stay
An old hotel but staff very efficient and beds very comfortable as well as location right on the seafront. For the price you can't ask for more.

Disappointed
Have stayed here several times over last few years with this year being the most disappointing - if pay a cheap rate expect cheap room paid top rate for a deluxe room which was far from being deluxe in any hotel will not stay here again

Friendly staff and well located
Very friendly receptionist. The hotel is in need of upgrading but is nice and clean. I didn't sleep very well as mattress was a bit too soft but everyone has their own preferences.
Well located and we had a beautiful view of the seafront and great value for money and would stay again.

Short break
The stay was very pleasant,the ream very welcoming
The accommodation and room very clean and comfortable
Breakfast was ok I think a better choice of egg and the fried eggs always over cooked
Which was really a minor point
