Nice view, good food, friendly staff, but utterly horrible bed.
Pros:

The staff were very friendly and chatty

Cons:

The bed was the most uncomfortable that I've ever slept on, in fact I didn't sleep at all, the mattress was so hard that it felt it was lead-lined, I would have probably got more sleep if I lay on the floor.
I did mention to the front reception , whose reply was that they were new mattresses.
If this was at Premier Inn, they would have refunded the money without question...

Excellent staff, seafront hotel
Pros:

Lovely team of staff in every area, nothing was too much trouble. Clean and comfortable room, great breakfast, right on the seafront and close to amenities. Parking permit if you can find a space on the street.

Cons:

Noise, it's a busy area, street noise until quite late, (Saturday evening). My room (23) was right next to stairs and a fire door, so banging closed all night.
