Das Preis- Leistungsverhältnis stimmt nicht
Pros:

Das Hotel hat einen eigenen kostenlosen Parkplatz. Die Eingangshalle ist toll.

Cons:

Das war das teuerste Hotel unserer Rundreise und unser Zimmer hatte die schmälsten Betten und das kleinste Badezimmer der ganzen Reise. Im Bad waren an der Heizung freie Drähte. Das Personal war nicht unfreundlich, aber auch nicht sehr bemüht. Ohne Anfrage wurde uns keine Hilfe mit den schweren Koffern ( 12 Stufen zum Eingang) angeboten. Der Kaffee und Tee wurde aus Thermoskannen ausgeschenkt. Trotzdem war mein Tee lauwarm. Nachgeschenkt wurde nur nach. Insgesamt stimmt das Preis-Leistungsverhältnis nicht!

Ideal stay the night before a cruise
Pros:

We loved the hotel, it's location and the free parking. The room was excellent, it was very hot when we visited and the fan located in the wardrobe was very useful. The bed was comfortable, the room was clean and the shower was brilliant. The staff were all fantastic.

Cons:

The one niggle was the breakfast - in all honesty we were not too worried as it was included in the price of the room so we had not exactly paid extra for it but the continental selection was really rather poor, my wife had the Smashed Avocado toast which was supposed to come with Cherry Tomatoes and Harissa Jam but instead came with a sort of combination of the two that meant the whole dish was covered in an incredibly spicy tomato sauce. I should stress we both eat spicy food with little issue but the tomato sauce on this made it near inedible. Has we paid £20 each I think we would have likely sent it back or asked for a refund. This was not enough to take aways from the rest of the hotel which was fantastic but in all honesty the breakfast side of things needs looking at.

The reception staff was very friendly and really helpful. I also had dinner at the bar and the food was delicious. Immac
Pros:

It is located fantastically close to everything and the sea.

Cons:

There was a garden party on Sunday, and the music incredibly loud, to a point I could not stay in the room to rest.
