Decent coastal getaway.
Great location overlooking the beach.
Close walk to a few restaurants and bars.
Retro look is appealing but some furniture is very worn.
Gym is very old and worn, pool looked great but was packed, proved very popular in the heat.
No AC in the room, just fan, proved a challenge to sleep.
Restaurant had deed t meal options.
Great as usual but lift out of action for whole stay in heatwave conditions wasn't great for the third floor . Staff fabulous as ever. Room great and fans supplied to help with heat issues. The best staff always helpful and informed
Hotel is a bit dated, but the bed was comfy. Missing some room basics like a mini fridge and water.
Breakfast could be better, although evening food was very good.
Best bar of the places we went to during the 4 day stay.
Good
Lovely few days on the North East coast. Breakfast was just what you need with both cooked options and fruit/pastry. The staff were lovely in all areas of the hotel including the gym&pool. You can't go far wrong. Our room was comfy, clean and perfect for a short stay.
