Hotel is located on the seafront and has beautiful views if you get a room at the front. Staff were friendly and check in was easy. Don’t forget to put your reg in at reception if staying there. Hotel has a bar, restaurant and leisure facility and close to restaurants and shops. The rooms are spacious but are a bit outdated and need updating.

Really helpful and friendly staff. We didn’t realise that it was a Britannia hotel when we booked and so we arrived expecting the worst, but we were very pleasantly surprised at quality staff and excellent room. We only had the sweet and sour chicken sent as room service but this also turned out hot and very tasty. Breakfast buffet also good. Excellent sea view as beach is only across the road. Will go again.
