Excellent Seaside Stay

lovely breakfast convenient location
The breakfast was quite nice. I liked the location right on the sea front (Wetherspoons is conveniently next door).
The hotel reception area appears a bit tatty, especially the lift. I think it could use some refurbishment.

a satisfactory stay overall

seafront balcony friendly staff pub noise shouting people
the room was nice and big with a seafront balcony. the bathroom was also good (i liked its size). the hotel was clean and the staff proved helpful and friendly. the greek restaurant next door was a nice addition for breakfast and dinner.
the noise from the pub downstairs was significant. drunk people shouted until the early hours, and this made it difficult for my child and me to sleep. i probably would not return because of the disturbance.

The staff were attentive. They were also professional. The hotel both looked and smelt clean. I would visit again.
The room i stayed in was small in size. It was practically on top of a Whetherspoons Pub. This pub was noisy all night.
