Absolutely loved my stay! The room was spotless and stocked with loads of amenities, and reception was happy to provide anything extra. I used the gym and pool a lot — the gym is small but has everything you need, and everyone there was so friendly. The pool was busy (it was a Saturday!), but still great. Gorgeous hotel. Couldn’t fault a thing.

Great location. I booked a king room and received a room with 2 double beds. This was inconvenient but we had plans and no time to rectify this with reception. The room was cold.

I was upgraded to a lovely large room on the side of the hotel such that I had a side view of the beach. The window was dirty that first evening but the following day the window cleaners were out and I got to experience the glorious view. Perfect location of hotel backing on to the Lanes and in front with the promenade. Rooms clean and very comfortable beds.. Reception staff very helpful. Breakfast was decent - good veggie sausages, nice freshly cooked omelette and pancakes. Fresh fruit options could have been better and greek yoghurt tasted a bit off. Service was a bit sluggish in the restaurant albeit friendly. Leisure area was small given such a large busy hotel - swimming pool, sauna and steam room were small but reasonably clean (the odd plaster and unfortunately beds all wet). Tiny gym where equipment was a bit rusty and dated. Slippers to use poolside would have been helpful (none in room either). Hotel gives you a slight discount on car park fares (underground from hotel but private car park) which are extortionate. Overall a fair experience.

The room was comfortable though the property is a little dated. I paid for a full sea view, but was given a side room looking down the beach and at the building next door. I thought that was a little deceptive. Staff were pleasant. Location was good for access to the sea front, dining options and the shops.
