The hotel room was so bad to say it had been recently been upgraded. We woke up with rain pounding through the windows and the carpet was totally soaking. Reported to reception with no response and hence the fire alarm constantly going off during the night. Wouldn’t stay again!!!!!

Mary

Property and rooms quite dated, wallpaper peeling off walls in corridors, room was classed as a superior twin with sea view. The sash windows are very old and were filthy, had to wipe the window to try and see the views. On the plus the food was good, breakfast was overpriced. Staff were friendly, it’s in a great location, but hotel needs updating and rooms should be priced accordingly.
