The hotel is very run down. The carpets are in terrible condition and looks like someone has died on them! The whole hotel needs a major renovation. Location is best thing about it - right next to the beach and train station.

The property's location was highly advantageous, offering convenient pedestrian access to beachside dining establishments and cultural institutions. However, the building itself is quite aged, and the elevator functionality was inconsistent. Furthermore, the breakfast offerings were rather unremarkable, with limited choices available.

Beach view absolutely beautiful, parking not as bad as people say, providing your car is not big, the hotel provide secure parking behind & there is a huge carpark down the steps to the front. Staff friendly on arrival, accommodated every need. Could do with a fresh lick of paint, but overall fabulous stay, will most likely be back, thank you.

Some free car parking was available in the hotel garage but only for guests arriving early. My room had a lovely view over the beach. The shower was easy to use. There were clean ‘fluffy’ white towels. Comfortable bed. The standard of accommodation was good value
