Another Great Hotel
Pros:

Returning guests. great hotel The staff are friendly and helpful. Hotel is right on the prom & beach. Breakfast was great ,lots of choice, coffee is good. Unable to use the heated swimming pool, due to late arrival. Maybe next time. The bedroom was clean and the bed was good for my back.
