I have stayed here many times over the last 2 years. The hotel is always very good for being located to the seafront, theatres, town centre and plenty of eateries too. The breakfast buffet is excellent as is the cafe/bar. The staff are all very efficient and polite. Rooms always clean with good view and furnished to a good standard.

We have just enjoyed a lovely 5 night stay in a room with a side sea view balcony looking down to the pier. The hotel facilities were very good and the staff exceptional and so attentive to customers needs.
