Tired hotel. Disinterested staff especially reception which was frankly dreadful. What could be a wonderful hotel in a fantastic location is way overpriced and average. You can't check in until 3pm but have to be out by 11am. Lastly the breakfast is at best average. There's a cafe down the road on the seafront that does a better breakfast.
