One of many old vintage hotels in the town and must be so expensive to maintain and keep going in modern times. Hotel has much grandeur and features. We had rooms overlooking the sea which were magnificent as the lightning changed every 10 minutes. I wouldn't want a rear view. Rooms were warm and had to turn down the radiators. If you want a new and squeaky clean hotel then try for a new build, well if you won't find one and if you did they won't be around in another hundred years like this grand old lady. Loved the revolving door.

The staff were all really helpful and kind and itwas in a great place. however the room and the upper floor had obviously been leaking for a long time. The window was unsafe and falling out and there was plaster falling off the walls in the corridor outside our room and our ceiling. It was tatty and looked uncared for.
