We stayed two nights and really liked the location. It is situated at the the quieter end of the beautiful promenade. We loved that this part of the prom is free parking right outside the front door, compared to 500metres along where it is meter parking. Do not park at the hotels limited rear parking as has afe. It, like most of the hotels along the prom are well kept and a treat to look at. Our ground floor room was fine and generally comfortable with all ammenities you would expect (tea/coffee, hairdryer). It is a little dated but stille perfectly good for a budget stay in a nice hotel. A few things to constructively critique. The young lady who checked us in and out was nice enough but lacking the welcoming enthusiasm I would expect at a hotel reception. There was zero advice about facilities available in the hotel such as a bar or restaurant. So missed opportunity for potential upsales. The other young lady (blondish hair) on duty after our first night was a delight, couldn't do enough, gave each other a good laugh. On leaving, we pointed out the mattress needs replacing as the springs had gone and it was moderately compensated by the mattress topper. This was in room 130. I do hope this is an exception to all other rooms and will be replaced forthwith. Otherwise, a great place for a relaxing break.
