Nice hotel if a little tired

Great sea view from the room, which was comfortable but a bit small. The whole hotel is a bit dated and worn. The staff are lovely and very helpful. The food was good, decent choice at buffet style breakfast. Evening meal had plenty of choice for starter and desert from the buffet, main course served to the table. Free parking very convenient. The price per night was a bit expensive for a 3 star hotel
