The beds were so uncomfortable. The room was small and a little basic. The breakfast was good but a really long wait to be served. Staff were nice enough. I wouldn’t return.
We had a good stay at the hotel. Parking is free and there were plenty of spaces. The room was compact but perfectly fine and nicely decorated. Hotel decor is stylish. Reception organised a cab for us. We had drinks in the hotel but did not eat there as had other plans. It was slightly noisy in the room from guests on the floor above but that is often the case in hotels. Would stay again and would recommend.
Lovely hotel, nice staff, nice rooms although bed was a bit squeeky, Great views of the sea and great location.
2nd time here and will definitely come again.
Check in was allowed an hour early as room was ready which was appreciated, check in was efficient but not what I would call friendly or welcoming just businesslike.
Room was super clean, very small but great with an outside balcony. Had lunch there, seafood chowder was excellent. Everything was fine but really noisy housekeeping staff in the morning. Great to hear happy laughing staff but it was pretty loud. We enjoyed our stay and yes would stay again.
What a great hotel. 10 out of 10 all round. Staff great, room great. The sound of the sea great and to top it off. The food was outstanding. Can’t wait to stay again.
