Nice place and great area but the smallest bed. Rapid for a king but that was no king and we are both over 6 foot. We didn’t have time to say anything as we were staying one night .
There seems to be a massive range in the types of room but we paid over 130 for one night plus 14 parking and really we could have done better in another hotel.

Not a 4 star
I generally don’t have the need to review hotels, but on this occasion, I did an exemption. Not sure, how this is a 4 star hotel. Very basic for £170 a night room. 2nd floor closed for refurbishment and very noisy until late.
The highlight of the visit was the young lad at the reception Connor.

Amazing location, beautiful hotel
Had a superior family room with my kids, room was huge, beautiful and very clean. The whole hotel was spotless and all staff I met were lovely and friendly. Location couldnt have been better, literally right in centre of beachfront.
Food in restaurant was really nice and good choices too. No complaints

Noisy central heating pipes.
Great location and huge room. But, no room in car park. Had to pay to park in multi storey 5 minutes walk away.
Also, central heating system made a loud noise - air in system? - which did not allow for a restful, quiet night's sleep.

Solid option for the beach
Decent hotel in a perfect location. Nice and powerful shower. Perhaps a little old fashioned, the bed could be a bit comfier and the bar could do a with a bit of a revamp. Not major gripes though, would stay again.

It wasn’t stipulated in the booking that we had to pay for parking. It usually is free for guests but NOT if booked through a third party. Breakfast selection was good. We had selected a premium room, but I’m not sure if that was what we got. It looked nothing like the photos on the site. Otherwise the property is good value for money and conveniently situated.

Overall the hotel service was very good, however our room was noisy and difficilt to sleep due to the big air cons behind the room outside.
