Good hotel but there is no free parking!!

The hotel was good and the rooms were clean if a little cramped. Main concern was the marketing of the hotel as including free parking. This is not the case and should be removed from the Hotels.com listing for this hotel. Some inconvenience for us as we had to find public parking within the town.

Disliked: Amenities
The property is conveniently located next to the beach for easy access. The room was not in great shape, with sand on the floor, burnt out lights, and broken towel holders. Parking is most definitely not included per the amenities listing, which resulted in feeding a meter to park anywhere close to the hotel.

Underwhelming

We were less than impressed with this hotel. For what we received (a very small room, noisy, breakfast wasn't good) we felt it was not worth the price at all!

Just loved it. Didn't realise we had a studio apartment right on the sea front, it was such a bonus, and we loved it. The staff were great, really nice and helpful. We hope to come back again soon. Thank you!

Belgium by the sea

A basic hotel but in an excellent location just off the esplanade and with a tram stop outside. Excellent continental breakfast with some hot dishes. Only negative is the single lift which accommodates only 4.

Well situated hotel

Hotel was very well sited on seafront, with easy access to the Coast Tram and parking close by. Staff were friendly and helpful. Only disappointment was that the room was somewhat hot and the bed not the most comfortable. It should be noted that there was no problems with cleanliness or noise though.
