You pay for what you get but this hotel needs a freshen up.
Pros:

Not too far away from beach, town.
Good good selection and entertainment was great 👍🏼

Cons:

Room too hot, very run down, one lift that smelt of wee ( badly) Wrong type of clientele allowed to casually walk in, use bar to eat and drink from own bags, takeaways ?
Pool freezing and changing rooms smell?

A pleasant stay.
Pros:

I booked the room last minute. 5 hours later I was at the hotel. But when I got to the room the room was meant to be out of service. It had a leaking radiator and one of the chest of drawers was damaged. The workmen left a carpet cleaner and a heater to clean up the water that had leaked from the radiator. When I complained, the reception staff were absolutely brilliant.They gave me another room, and I was very happy.

Cons:

Nothing. I had a pleasant stay.
