Comfortable, old fashioned, nice pool.

Great food. Lovely staff (need to grab their attention if you need anything). Single bed is small. I'd suggest a larger single for comfort. Bit of a wait for breakfast ordering and takes a while to come out (I was there on business and needed to allow more time).

Location is the best aspect

Location is great, within walking distance of seafront and town centre. Quiet by night. Pool area is nice. Downsides are the rooms are cramped - (or at least lower category ones are) - in a side seaview room there is only enough room for one person to walk around the bed at once. Bathroom is tired with a very weak hose shower over the bath. Breakfast was just OK. Service is poor, all the customers had to keep trying to get staff attention for what they needed. Some of the food is iffy - scrambled eggs are inedible (reconstituted?). I'd stay again for the location if I felt inclined to pay more for a bigger room.
