Wouldn't stay here again

Wouldn't stay here again. The room was clean & beds comfortable. However, I booked a family room & the room we had certainly wasn't! Room was very small & single beds very close together, it was small even for 2 people. Also, nowhere for clothes etc apart from a very small rail with 1 coat hanger. Couldn't have stayed for more than 1 night. Something else that seemed odd was the hotel staff pushing to be paid in cash in return for a small discount. There are better hotels around.

Lovely room

Bit noisy outside during the night but we didn’t realise the window was ajar, which probably didn’t help! Room was lovely. Great views. Bed very comfortable

Our stay was very disappointing. First of all, the hotel was nowhere near the seafront as advertised. You would have to walk about 10-15 minutes to get there. They also advertised King-size bed which turned out to be a Standard Double on the 4th floor with no lifts. My wife and I had to carry our luggages l the way taking a few minutes rest on the 3rd floor. When questioned about the size of the bed the Manager only trued to justify it saying the bed in our room was larger compared to others innother rooms. I don't think we woild ever use this hotel again.
