Excellent breakfast buffet, friendly and helpful staff, especially Phillipa at the front desk. The hotel is on a cliff overlooking the ocean, and a short walk into the high street area. Unfortunately they were remodeling some areas so we only had one elevator. I stayed on the fourth floor and had a great view of the coastline and the city. The bed was very comfortable and the bathroom very clean and modern. I would definitely stay here again.
Sunrise from nearby. I think you can see France!

The hotel was pleasant both from outside and inside. It was obvious that it had recently been refurbished. The staff were courteous but a little brusque at times. Although they were very busy they did not make you feel welcome, except for one very young lady who was most pleasant and helpful. She was on duty for breakfast at our first morning. Breakfast was good value for money. We were disappointed that the bathroom flooded on both days and we had to mop the water up with towels. The receptionist that we reported this situation to each morning was very apologetic. May we also suggest that a handle in the shower would be useful for those with disabilities.
