Pros:

Location, staff, view, The Salt Room restaurant

Cons:

AC didn't work, queue for breakfast.
Overall it’s fine, but there are stains, cracks, and some old materials used. Beachfront 4 star hotel for this price should offer much better experience.

Dull and uninspiring due to room decor.
Pros:

Location

Cons:

We upgraded to a superior king sized room on arrival. The room was at the back of the Hotel where a loud street party was in full
Fling. Extremely loud.
The room decor was grey and very bland. Soul less in fact.
The blue decor in the corridors and carpets throughout look out of place in a formerly prestigious Victorian Hotel.
