Like most of our seaside resorts and hotels this hotel is showing its age. for a four star hotel the food was ok but if you are going to offer a minimal menu then at least do it well. If you do not have ample parking for your guests you should at least consider offering parking elsewhere FOC or at a reduced rate and advising your guests clearly and specifically about the issues you have with parking so that they can time their arrival better. The staff where all pleasant and helpful and the hotel satisfied our requirements for the weekend we had planned. Thank you

Lovely comfortable room overlooking the sea. Everything we needed for an overnight theatre stay . Really well situated hotel opposite the beach 5 minutes to the BIC and Pavillion theatres and shops .

Staff were very helpful, especially at Check in. The room was modern but small and was noisy due to being above the lounge area. Room was also very warm even after turning the aircon down. Mattress was very firm, neither of us slept very well. Limited choice of foods at breakfast and a lot of choice was empty. Overall, its not a bad hotel just needs a little bit of work.

Check-in was painfully slow as there was only one person on the desk. And despite having phoned up and messaged twice to ask for a twin room, we were still given a double. The problem was solved quickly and we were moved to a larger twin room; however the beds were still together, so we had to move them to separate them! A twin is two separate single beds, not two separate single beds fixed together with no room to move them apart! Breakfast was nice and kept replenished but there was no dairy-free alternative milk as standard. I brought my own with me anyway.

Great location!! Amazing view

Great stay, location fab! Very clean, everything we needed in room. A little noisy but we expected it due to location. We were amazed by the price due to location, it was quicker to pop back to the hotel for a wee than queue down the beach haha. Staff were also very friendly and welcoming :) would stay again :)
