“I find the hotel attractive for its proximity to the sea and Marine Parade, placing guests a short distance from the high street while maintaining a quiet atmosphere. The staff seem to be particularly attentive, while the period features, including spa baths in certain rooms, add character. For travellers seeking a comfortable and convenient seaside stay without demanding perfection, this hotel presents a reasonable option.”
