Reviews and Ratings
I stayed at the hotel, which offered clean and comfy rooms, friendly staff, and a great location with easy access to lovely suburban areas and restaurants. However, the dining experience left much to be desired with limited breakfast options. The hotel's pricing was reasonable, but valet parking was a costly option.
Staying at this hotel was a pleasant experience overall. The rooms were nicely appointed and comfortable, offering a warm atmosphere with the potential for even more charm with a little extra care. While there were some issues with upselling on room size, the service was generally satisfactory, with sparkling cleanliness and a welcoming vibe. The location was convenient for exploring the city with its nearby attractions and easy access to restaurants and shops. Dining options were decent but not exceptional. The facilities provided a comfortable stay, but improvements could be made.
The hotel rooms were fresh with modern design, but lacked comfort. The service was good despite the receptionist being off smoking upon arrival. The location was convenient and close to attractions. The dining experience was fast and elegant but limited and overpriced. The facilities were adequate.
The hotel's rooms are absolutely spacious and comfortable, feeling like a ship at sea but made up to my specification with non-allergenic bedding. The beach is within walking distance. The service was very nice overall, with extremely friendly and accommodating staff, although sometimes lacking at the coffee bar in the morning. The location is excellent, easily accessible by public transport and near restaurants and shopping areas, maintaining its historic charm. The dining experience was not worth the price, with limited breakfast options. The facilities were good, providing convenient services.
My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant overall. The rooms were comfortable and spacious, but having only one attached bathroom was a bit inconvenient. The service I received was friendly and welcoming, making my weekend birthday celebration even more special. The location of the hotel was fantastic, with easy access to shopping, dining, and the beach. However, the dining experience left much to be desired with limited options and high prices for basic items.
