I appreciated the really good service from the friendly staff ! The live entertainment added a perfect ambience to the evenings in the hotel. I also found the location very convenient, as it was a short walk to the seafront. I also liked the basement parking. It kept my car safe.
I found the gym to be a bit small. It only had a few pieces of equipment. But overall, I had NO complaints.
