Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The location was fantastic, right by the seafront with clear views, but there were some room reservation issues that needed to be sorted out. The service was excellent with very helpful staff, although the old-fashioned outfit and interior might not be everyone's cup of tea.
Upon arrival, I noticed the rooms were of a reasonable size but definitely needed some modernization. The decor appeared outdated, with lights on the wall barely attached properly. Unfortunately, my booking request for specific decor was not met, and there was no bottled water in the room, which I usually expect. However, the full-size bed was comfortable, and the dark red velvet sofa added a touch of character, despite the torn lampshade.
I had a pleasant stay at the hotel. The rooms were comfortable, and the staff was lovely and very helpful. The location was excellent, just a short walk to the station, with a beautiful sea view. The dining experience was nice, and the hotel offered a welcome drink. Overall, it was a great value for money.
