I have stayed at this hotel before as its location is good on the sea front. I paid a fee to upgrade from a single to a double and the room was very spacious. I was disappointed that I didn’t have a sea view especially as the hotel had a lot of availability on the day. The breakfast was good with lots of choice.

I have stayed here many times over the last 2 years. The hotel is always very good for being located to the seafront, theatres, town centre and plenty of eateries too. The breakfast buffet is excellent as is the cafe/bar. The staff are all very efficient and polite. Rooms always clean with good view and furnished to a good standard.
