“It's clear the renovation work is a significant part of the current experience, yet the heart of this place, its undeniably friendly staff and excellent value, shines through brightly. The location right on the seafront is a real draw, offering those sweeping ocean views that make waking up here feel special. Even with a few cosmetic areas still being addressed, the warmth and efficiency, particularly evident in the bustling restaurant and the helpful night porter, make it a place I'd happily revisit.”
