Pros:

We were so impressed with the hotel we didn’t leave it other than going for a walk around the town. We will definitely return and stay an extra night next time!

Very disappointed as I’m a regular customer and service was poor etc
Cons:

The food in the bar was cold - we had to complain and send it back. Service was so poor in the restaurant also! Asked for water had to wait 15 mins and had to ask again! Breakfast was freezing cold this morning. In the room on 4th floor all we could hear all night was pipes rattling. Could not sleep at all.

We met up with family which was lovely.
Pros:

The receptionist was very informative

Cons:

I booked and paid for an Executive room, I don't feel I got one. We had a 4foot 6inch bed, very small for an Executive room. The room too was quite small but we did have view of the sea.
