The food was good with plenty of variety. View fantastic. Very people friendly. I would definitely come again. Staff on reception were excellent. The lifts were very erratic and I had them close on me a number of times. Fortunately I was on the 2nd floor so used the stairs when there were too many people around.

Cheap Hotel is desperately in need of refurbishment. Worst breakfast we have ever faced, everything was overcooked including egg yolks that couldn't be penetrated with a knife! The hotel seemed to use the cheapest food products, it was how we imagined prison food!

I thought the room was comfortable, and enjoyed the sea view very much. The food was excellent. I don't like the smell of smoke, If I had known that smoking is allowed in hotel rooms I probably wouldn't have stayed. My husband and I had to put our hands over our noses whilst walking back to our room, it wasn't pleasant. Also I found the lifts quite frightening.
