superb breakfastgreat locationhelpful staffdated hotelpeeling wallpaperdirty windows
the breakfast was superb and there was plenty of choice (i especially liked the variety of cereals!). the location was just what i wanted, it was quiet, but handy for getting out and about. the staff were so helpful and cute, i really enjoyed every bit of my stay and will be back, i'm sure.
first impression was the hotel looked more dated than it did on the photos. the room could do with redecoration, the wallpaper was peeling off, the windows were dirty. the en-suite needed a good clean, i saw dusty and dead spiders on the floor by the skirting boards.

the breakfast was really good, especially the cooked options (i enjoyed the sausages!). the staff were friendly and always ready to help with any questions i had. the location was also convenient, a short walk to the promenade. parking spaces on the hotel were really helpful.
The room i stayed in felt quite dated, the wallpaper was peeling in places. the tv was quite small and the signal wasn't very strong. the shower had low water pressure. It made showering a bit of a chore.
