A fairly old but well refurbished hotel on the seafront, with great bay views from the front windows.
Upon entry, you'll be greeted by a typical reception area, but it is where the corridors and hallways come into play you will be pleasantly surprised with the modern touches, such as the blue and red MK Ultra LED lighting. You will almost feel like you are part of a James Cameron film!

The room that I had was fairly small, so much so that I was unable to even take a photo of the bedroom nor get a photo of the bathroom. The bed was not the most comfortable that I have stayed in and it's proximity to the wall had me crashing into it a couple of times during my stay here. As is now de rigueur throughout most hotels, it had a small LCD TV alongside the obligatory tea and coffee making facilities.
The room was fairly standard in its decor, however I must say I really, really, enjoyed the picture that was hung on the wall. A really nice touch.
The bathroom was nicely decorated (perhaps even a recently refitted) and cleaned to a nice high standard. Do not expect expensive fittings here, but what was there was fairly new and certainly well presented. The shower was not to normal hotel-water-pressure standard, in that I like to have my skin pounded with pressure at the end of a long day before I go out. I visited both of the bars in the place on various nights. The first one is a typical hotel bar, but I was impressed by the vast array of different spirits they offered here. The other bar had light entertainment on one of the evenings, and although country music played by pensioners is perhaps not to everyone's tastes, they could actually play their instruments to a very high standard, and really knew their repertoire.
Overall, I have no real complaints about anything in this hotel, and as ever the real litmus test is whether they have a Gideon Bible in the room, and the answer is YES and for this, they earn an extra star! read more
