Pros:

Sehr zuvorkommendes und freundliches Personal.
Frisch renoviert und alles sauber.

Cons:

Die Treppen und der Lift sind etwas eng, was aber den baulichen Gegebenheiten geschuldet ist.
Für ältere Menschen vielleicht etwas beschwerlich.

A most enjoyable 4 night leisure break.
Pros:

Good sized bedroom with en-suite. Very comfortable bed, plenty of wardrobe and cupboard space. Large flat screen T.V., Hospitality tray. Room was serviced every other day and maintained to the highest standards. It seemed to me that the hotel had recently undergone a full renovation , En-suite comprised bath with shower, wash basin and toilet. A complimentary continental style cold buffet breakfast is offered. The hotel is situated on the promenade approximately one mile from the Sea Terminal. Friendly and helpful staff

Cons:

I could find nothing which needed improvement.

2nd Floor, Double Bedroom
Pros:

Bed was ok. TV was huge (looked like a 65" plasma). Toiletries provided.

Cons:

TV possibly too big for the room. Couldn't find the switch for the bathroom sink cabinet lights.

Pros:

De ligging: dicht bij de zee thoren van de golven in de kamer , de bus ende rust.
Netheid.
Ruime kamer met zeezicht.

Cons:

Het bed: matras te zacht en bed te klein. Opteer beter voor 'twins' bed.
Het ontbijt: alleen 'zoet' graag aanvullen met kaas en vooral een sterkere koffie ( veel te slap).
Betere verlichting maar 1 lamp aan 1 kant van het bed.

Pros:

Exceptionally helpful owner and staff. Very good sized room. Contact made in advance of arrival for arrangements for accessing hotel and on departure were very amenable in arranging to look after luggage until it was time to check in at ferry
Exceptional value for money with a complimentary basic breakfast.

Cons:

The only slight thing was that I could have done with more milks being left on the tea/coffee tray - especially as room serviced only every other day but this is an exceptionally minor point.
