Fint hotell, men litt slitent, og ganske dyrt for den standarden.
Pros:

Frokosten var god, men frokostrommet var litt lite så jeg måtte spise i baren en dag. Fint gammelt hotell. Alle fikk rom som passet (enkelt, tomanns, dobbelt). Kort vei til stranden.

Cons:

Litt slitent her og der. Litt langt til sentrum.

Great hotel but beware the parking
Pros:

Lovely location. The room was comfortable and bright

Cons:

Parking terrible. I went into the carpark to find it full up, no sign outside yo say so. Very, very difficult to turn around. The parked down the road at a cost of nearly £35, and mercure tried to charge for parking in way out.
Quite a few stairs to the Mews room difficult for my husband. Should be a warning when booking that room.
