A good 3 star hotel, but no ay near 5 stars. One gets the sense this used to be a good hotel, but in the last few years has been operating on a budget (new owners?). The structure of communal and rooms are good, but the furnishings and decor are getting tired. For example my, Aunt stayed in one of the sea view rooms, which had a great aspect and space, but the table had two major cracks in it and looked like it was from a skip. My room was a partial sea view room, and it was fine but rather basic (although the shower head was broken and thick with limescale). The breakfast room is grand, but the tables and chairs very cheap. The breakfast, esp.at £20pp, is really poor. The staff are lovely, but there is not enough of them - the receptionist also had to serve breakfast for example. This helps explain why whenever we called the phone is very rarely picked up. Great location. If you think of this as an okay 3 star youll be pleased, but very disappointed if a 5 star.
