Would not stay here again or recommend
Pros:

Great location near beach

Cons:

Linen and carpets had marks. Roaches. No hot water. Breakfast was not great. Generally run down and uninspired. Dishonesty from staff regarding resolution of rooms water issues. Sea view room faces apartments with no privacy curtains so curtains need to be kept closed for privacy.

Weekend away
Pros:

Comfortable bed, nice bathroom and great view, decent breakfast

Cons:

The hotel generally needs a makeover, which it apparently getting later this year, as it is quite dated. A bit noisy until the party in the bar finishes.

Not worth 1 night stay
Pros:

The location, staff very friendly, water pressure for shower 👍

Cons:

Moved rooms as the toilet was leaking. No WiFi in rooms. No 2 pin plugs, food was not good at all. Maintenance in building very run down. Very sad to see such place not being looked after. So much potential but owners clearly don't care. Pls stay elsewhere. For price it's not worth it even for 1 night. Pity.
