Great value for money
Pros:

Great location. Great breakfast, and especially brilliant dinner in the Skywalker restaurant upstairs. The staff at reception and in the restaurant couldn’t have done more for us, which was much appreciated!
Rooms a little dated but totally fine and great value for money.
Sea view and interconnecting rooms were a bonus!

Cons:

Outside the room it was quite noisy - both from the corridor and from the outdoor restaurant area
