Great location makes up for hotel shortfalls
Pros:

Location. Bar. Breakfast. We were celebrating an anniversary so the hotel gave us a half bottle of wine.

Cons:

Bath was very short. Couldn’t lay down. Shower screen was dirty. Mattress was very hard and creaked when you moved. Didn’t get any sleep.

Great location, a little expensive for what we experienced, great helpful staff.
Pros:

We booked a double room with a sea view. The room was good although all around the window there was black mould, which was unsightly. The windows were also filthy dirty / outside. Bathroom only had a shower, no bath. Bed excellent pillows far too hard. Our sea view was minimal and a little naughty considering how the room was advertised and what we were charged. The breakfast was good although there was a lack of staff in the restaurant helping and clearing tables etc. Reception staff were helpful, although no check ins till 3pm.

Cons:

Pillows or a choice of a softer pillow. Comprehensive sea veiw would have been nice. The windows at the front of the hotel again needed a good clean.
