Whilst I enjoyed my stay and I would return, the outside area could do with a revamp especially the green area, lobby was very tired looking, seating shabby. Room was fine and found bed comfortable. Cleaned every day with fresh towels.

Needs a few little extras.

Pros: Clean and tidy.
Cons: Facilities in the room as above.
For the amount we paid the hotel was excellent. In need of a few little extras such as fridges in room and tea and coffee making facilities in room. Otherwise the hotel was fine apart from the rip off prices for drinks in bar and restaurant compared to street cafes and restaurant.

Good Location.

Pros: Location
Cons: Not really sure as we only used it as a base to sleep.
Location: Plenty of Restaurants and Bars within the area - spoilt for choice.
Room was kept clean and tidy during our stay. Room was fine but the Bathroom was a trifle small. We only booked for Breakfast, there was plenty of choice - fruit - cooked breakfast - Continental. Ideal location for Restaurants - Bars and the Promenade just 2 minutes away.
