The room was clean but the bath shower had a crack in the base. A tripping hazard & dangerous. It really needs to be replaced..The staff were keen to look after your stay. The location is the best place to stay on the strand. Everything is in walking distance. The pool was great.

The location is towards one end of the Strand. Some evening noise, from the adjacent venue, and from the occasional noisy car or motor bike, interrupted the generally quiet area. The internet was extremely slow.
