Fire safety fail
Pros:

Staff were amazing, breakfast has everything you needed, great location

Cons:

Fire door wouldn't open due to carpet on the other side, no lock or latch on fire door and look like the room next door had the same thing and could possibly come into our room at any time using their door Which is very vulnerable!! Broken window, poorly sewn window net curtains. Filthy carpet needs a serious wet vac so keep you sliders on in the room

Old style charming hotel
Pros:

Great location in this old style hotel. Very friendly staff. Our room was large with great views of the Pier, i360 and the beach. Loved the old lift and feel of the place. Modern bathroom. The place is old so uneven flooring, large windows no air-conditioning but had a nice worn feel about it. Great breakfast with basics included.

Cons:

Wifi in the rooms would have been good.

Pros:

Emplacement superbe devant la tour 360. Personnel charmant et très bon petit déjeuner. Ancien hôtel de charme en cours de rénovation. Accueil 24h/24.

Cons:

Il y a encore des travaux de rénovation à effectuer. Les moquettes sont vraiment à remplacer, et il y a des petites choses à faire pour améliorer le confort : carrelage au sol à réparer dans la salle de bain, porte savon à installer dans la douche pour ne pas avoir à poser les produits au sol etc...
