The hotel is splendid. Indeed, it exceeded my expectations. Staff are incredibly friendly and helpful, they stop to talk to you, they care. Breakfast is varied and abundant, there is a wide choice, very tranquil breakfast room. The hotel is huge, plenty of rooms and sofas to sit down and relax. Stunning views of the seafront from the numerous windows. Rooms are spacious and ever so comfortable. Bathroom pristine. There was always tea and biscuits available, a treat. Last but not least, the location is ideal. Right opposite the seafront, perfect for a stroll down there, and just a few blocks away from the town centre to head for shopping. Theatres are round the corner, so again, incomparable location. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay and will definitely come back!
