Excellent location especially for the BIC.
Pros:

Sea Stone hotel is an excellent location, especially if you are going to the BIC, it is literally just across the road from the venue.
Our room was very spacious with large windows making it nice and bright. Nice bedding but the mattress was a little uncomfortable.
Large bathroom, very clean, good toiletries and lovely towels. .
Breakfast was good. Although too much crowding around the tea, coffee, juice area.

Cons:

A few times the reception was left unattended when we wanted to collect our key.

Pros:

Nous avons eu la chance d’être surclassé pour une suite vue sur mer.
Voyageant en vélo, nous avons donc pu les garder avec nous dans cette spacieuse chambre. L’hôtel dispose d’un ascenseur.
Logement très propre

Hotel was in a great location and the breakfast was nice.
Pros:

Its location

Cons:

The window in our room was a little unsafe, if opened fully. The safety bar wasn’t sufficient enough to stop a child from falling.
