I was upgraded to a lovely large room on the side of the hotel such that I had a side view of the beach. The window was dirty that first evening but the following day the window cleaners were out and I got to experience the glorious view. Perfect location of hotel backing on to the Lanes and in front with the promenade. Rooms clean and very comfortable beds.. Reception staff very helpful. Breakfast was decent - good veggie sausages, nice freshly cooked omelette and pancakes. Fresh fruit options could have been better and greek yoghurt tasted a bit off. Service was a bit sluggish in the restaurant albeit friendly. Leisure area was small given such a large busy hotel - swimming pool, sauna and steam room were small but reasonably clean (the odd plaster and unfortunately beds all wet). Tiny gym where equipment was a bit rusty and dated. Slippers to use poolside would have been helpful (none in room either). Hotel gives you a slight discount on car park fares (underground from hotel but private car park) which are extortionate. Overall a fair experience.

The room was comfortable though the property is a little dated. I paid for a full sea view, but was given a side room looking down the beach and at the building next door. I thought that was a little deceptive. Staff were pleasant. Location was good for access to the sea front, dining options and the shops.

Very clean and comfortable room. Great sea view. Staff very friendly and helpful when we had a minor plumbing issue. A little bit undewhelmed with the breakfast choice. No salmon or any fish, e.g. makerel. No asparagus or spinach or any other vegetable apart from fried potatoes. Not bad but limited if you don't do pork. Croissants were lovely.
