Enjoyed our one night stay while visiting to see a concert, we were in room 208 sea view, recently had a bathroom update by the look of it very clean. Have to appreciate this is a very old hotel and looks like parts are starting to get refurbished which is good. Didn’t have breakfast so can’t comment on that.
