The room was nice though small but plenty big enough for one. It overlooked Dukes but they close at 10.30 so noise was not an issue. |However, I felt the staff needed a lot more training. …

Great location, right on the sea front. Loads of shops, bars, restaurants and cafés nearby. Our room had a partial sea view. It was clean, with basic amenities. The shower was quite weak in terms of pressure though.The breakfast was delicious with lots of choice and the option to amend items.
