friendly staff beautiful day quality breakfast faulty electrics hot water missing toilet paper
The staff was very friendly. They addressed all needs quickly. My child's birthday became a beautiful day because of them. The breakfast was good quality and freshly cooked.
The electrics kept going off in my room. I also had no hot water. This was a total mess. There was no toilet paper in the room.

central stay with nice service

i found a free parking spot on the seafront, a convenient feature. the room included fluffy pillows and a comfortable bed, good for resting. the hotel is only a few minutes walk from the south pier, an ideal location.
there was no soap provided in the room, an inconvenience.
