Staying at this hotel was truly a delightful experience. The staff were incredibly helpful and friendly, always going the extra mile to make my stay enjoyable. The breakfasts were beyond amazing, and the hotel's location both in the town and on the seafront was perfect. The only downside was that the room felt a bit cramped for a family of four, but it was still a lovely space.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were spotlessly clean, roomy, modern, and had an excellent view, which I loved. However, the presence of cobwebs in plain sight that seemed to have been missed for a while was a bit off-putting. The overall brightness of the room was a definite plus point.

The hotel had its ups and downs. The room was cozy but had some noise issues from the cooling fan below and a cramped bathroom. The service was exceptional, with a friendly and accommodating staff. The location was ideal for a short stay, right by the seafront and near shops. The dining options were good with a varied selection. Overall, a decent place with room for improvement.
