Pros
The twin superior sea view rooms include a double and single bed PokudGeneratedData with coastal vistas.
Nightly entertainment features live acts such as singers and comedians.
Dogs (knee-height or smaller) are welcome for £10 per night.
Some road-facing rooms may experience street noise.
“I noted that this hotel really shines with its staff; their attentiveness seems to make a real difference. The sea views are clearly a high point, judging by the comments. While some areas are slated for upgrades, the value seems exceptional for what you get.”
