Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were basic but spacious, albeit falling slightly short of expectations. The service had its helpful moments, particularly in the morning, but there were some organizational issues. The location was nice with beautiful features despite some shortcomings, and the dining experience was a bit chaotic but had a decent selection. Overall, there were aspects to appreciate alongside areas that could be improved.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The room was clean and comfy, but there were some issues like a badly stained ceiling and a dim bathroom. The staff worked hard to ensure everyone was taken care of, but their approach was a bit defensive, especially when it came to parking. The location was excellent, right on the promenade facing the sea, but the 2 bases not matching could be a downside. The dining experience was delightful with plenty of choices, but there were moments of staff rudeness. Overall, a decent stay with room for improvement.
The hotel offers good value for money with clean rooms, though with some outdated decor. The service was friendly but inconsistent. The location is central but noisy due to nearby nightlife. The dining experience was chaotic with some unsatisfactory food options.
The hotel is located in a great area, very close to attractions and shops. The rooms were a bit cold but decent for the price, but the shower was a slip hazard without a proper seal. The service was friendly but they seemed overwhelmed at times. The dining experience had its ups and downs, with good staff but limited options. Overall, a convenient stay with some improvements needed.
The hotel offers spacious and well-equipped rooms with comfortable beds for a restful sleep. While some areas could benefit from modernization, the overall cleanliness and functionality surpass any minor cosmetic issues. The location is excellent, with beautiful views and convenient access to the Promenade & Pier. The dining options are decent, albeit with varying costs. A pleasant stay for those seeking comfort and convenience.
The hotel offers a great experience overall with some areas that could be improved. The rooms were a bit dated, but I found them comfortable.

The dining experience was a mix of nice meals with a minor setback on breakfast. The facilities were enjoyable, providing a relaxing stay.
The hotel is conveniently located right next to the main shopping area and promenade, making it great for town center access. The rooms were extremely dated, with issues like an old and very worn mattress, dirty black pillow, and signs of mold. The hotel's service was a mix of untrained staff but excellent management that was cheerful, pleasant, and very helpful. The dining experience was pleasant, with delicious meals and friendly staff. However, the lack of free parking was a downside.
The hotel had a cold and outdated feel, needing refurbishment. The room was too hot near the shower and overall not worth the price paid. Despite the disappointing room, the hotel's location was excellent for activities with my grandson.
