The hotel is very run down. The carpets are in terrible condition and looks like someone has died on them! The whole hotel needs a major renovation. Location is best thing about it - right next to the beach and train station.

Beach view absolutely beautiful, parking not as bad as people say, providing your car is not big, the hotel provide secure parking behind & there is a huge carpark down the steps to the front. Staff friendly on arrival, accommodated every need. Could do with a fresh lick of paint, but overall fabulous stay, will most likely be back, thank you.
