Comfortable and value for money.
Pros:

Booked last minute and was thrilled to have a large comfy room with a sea view. Have stayed previously and have noticed improvements, we will stay again.

Cons:

Minor things, the showers although adequate lacked power. It would have been useful to have a clock on the wall.

Good location - old fashioned hotel
Pros:

The location was great, lots of parking available and great views

Cons:

The hotel is extremely old fashioned. It has great potential but is in desperate need of renovation. The WiFi didn't work at all and the signal was quite bad to begin with

Pros:

Obszerny pokój z panoramicznym widokiem na morze i promenadę. Niesamowity widok z pozycji sofy zarówno w dzień jak i nocą. Miły i pomocny personel. Czysto, bardzo wygodne łóżka. Wszystko czego potrzeba na miejscu. Zestaw do parzenia kawy i herbaty., suszarka, wentylator, telewizor.

Cons:

Panoramiczny widok z okna pokoju rekompensuje wszelkie niedogodności.
