Excellent Hotel Stay

The hotel provides undercover parking. The building looked fantastic, clean and the staff were helpful. The food at the hotel was of a high standard and quality. The location is directly on the sea front. I will return for another visit.

The swimming pool smelled strongly of chlorine. The water in the pool seemed a bit murky. These issues require improvements from hotel management.
