Excellent , recommended
Pros:

Location was excellent for the pleasure beach , l plus you get to use the VIP entrance , all the staff where amazing and helpful , we opted not to pay for the parking as if you try your luck opposite the hotel the street is Normal parking but obviously down to pure luck .

Cons:

The cost of the parking . We had a ground floor room , room 100 and outside the window was the barrier for the car park so noisy plus many smokers having around outside so couldn’t have the window open due to the smell

Great hotel...
Pros:

Our room was nice and clean, the receptionist was lovely. The bar is nice and smart along with the restaurant.....

Cons:

Unfortunately the food in the restaurant didnt meet the standards set in the rest of the hotel. The menu was promising and it did look good however the taste wasnt great, the onion rings tasted like old oil.
