The staff was very helpful and friendly. the breakfast was excellent each morning. i had dinner in the bar one evening. It was AMAZING!!! the bar staff provided really good service.
the toilet door did not close properly. this made the bathroom slightly inconvenient. i think a simple repair could easily fix this issue.

Solid stay with AMAZING breakfast!
helpful staffsea viewexcellent servicequality food
The staff was helpful! I received a sea view room. It was a large, former railway hotel. Management ensured excellent table service for non-coach residents, which I appreciated. The food quality in the restaurant met my expectations.
The room decor felt slightly outdated. Some areas could use a refresh.
