A nice place to stay that is conveniently situated for beach, fun fair, park and only a short drive or longer walk up to city centre & Metro station. Easy & free on site parking. Nice friendly staff. Have stayed at Sea Hotel several times over the years and in my opinion is very good value for money. Very good breakfast after a comfortable nights sleep in a spacious room. Praise to management & staff. See you next time
