Great location along the Strand with sea views. Good dining facilities within close walk. Early check in was a bonus. Rooms appeared to be recently renovated. Internet not working, satellite TV not working, noisy elevator could be heard from inside our room as could washing machines. We had to wait 10 minutes for a staff member to arrive to check in, pool towels cost $3 to rent!

Only thing nice to say was the view. The room and it's furniture was very dated. We stayed 4 days/3 nights over the Easter weekend and did not receive any house keeping services throughout our ENTIRE stay! We've stayed at hotels which cost far less than what we paid for here which still provided daily housekeeping services. Would not recommend this place to anyone.
