Convenient for seafront, theatres and restaurants. Good parking. Comfortable rooms and a lounge area. Friendly staff. Excellent breakfast with flexible menu.

Lindsey United Kingdom

Really smashing breakfast, as much as you wanted in a lovely bright breakfast room. The staff were so lovely, nothing was too much trouble. The room was spacious and bright, the bathroom was fully equipped with all essentials and beautiful soft white towels. The location was just spot-on. Right near the beach, but far enough away to not be disturbed by the sea noise.
