we were only there one night, but wish it was longer! The staff at check in was professional and personable. The rooms we had with the sea view were clean and comfortable.
Excellent location, friendly staff, easy parking and great breakfast. Only recommend a refresh to the dated bathroom.

Room is modern, well equipped (safe, fridge, kettle, usb sockets) and smart. It is quite small - but adequate.
Hotel is situated on sea front with excellent views from sea-facing rooms. We usually find on- street car parking close by. Good range of bars and restaurants close by. Bus to city centre stops close by
Excellent location across the road from a lovely beach.
Nice staff at the front desk gave us an upgrade to sea view room which was much appreciated.
Comfortable bed in a decent sized room.
Breakfast was ok, not the best
Fantastic place to stay.
Very clean and welcoming with all modern amenities..
I got a free upgrade to a seaview which was amazing.
I cant wait to come and stay again.
