I had a lovely stay at the hotel. The rooms were good, and the staff, especially Daisy, were very helpful and polite. The complimentary upgrade for our wedding anniversary was a nice touch. However, there was limited car parking, and I had to wait for one and a half hours. Overall, I would recommend this hotel, especially if you come by car and book a parking space in advance.

The hotel is located in a great spot near the sea, offering wonderful views. Although the room was a bit cramped for an elderly couple, the service was nice, and the dining experience was fantastic. However, the noisy room, old-fashioned decor, and challenges with the location's accessibility were drawbacks during my stay.

The room, although with a magnificent view, was above the boiler room causing noise and very hot temperatures, making it hard to sleep.

7.2/10

The hotel room was amazing, more like a suite, with fully functional facilities for any disabled ability. It was extremely spacious with a double bed and a single bed. Despite not having a sea view, the traffic noise didn’t bother us with the windows open. However, finding the room was like navigating a maze. The room was clean but could use a decor refresh, and the soundproofing to the adjoining room was poor.
