Pros:

Nice atmosphere, good location, and friendly reception.

Cons:

Extremely noisy room located right beside the road with constant traffic. I barely got any sleep because of this. Food in hotel restaurant wasn't very warm unfortunately.

Pros:

Location good for our one night stay. Did not have breakfast. Evening meal at Marconi good.

Cons:

Reception should be at a central point as you walk through the entrance, not stuck in a corner.

Good location, poor experience & facilities
Pros:

Location, great access to the beach

Cons:

We were made to wait until 5.30pm to check in, when we eventually got in the room the floors were soaking wet, there were hairs on the bed and the facilities are very old and really needed to be updated. I was glad to leave - the corridors look like a prison block!

Pros:

Breakfast was good. Location was excellent.

Cons:

Little concerned about coming out of the shower on a wet, shiny slippery for a floor. I see potential for somebody falling and hitting their head and cracking it open in the future.
