Parking was easy, lots of spaces and all free. Bar had a good feel to it, some cosy corners if preferred. Food was very good and breakfast was good, great choice
Spacious rooms with a comfortable bed. Good choice of coffee and teas in the room. Roberts DAB radio provided but reception hit and miss. Large wall mounted TV. Very clean. Powerful shower with a choice of normal or "rain".
Good choice at the breakfast buffet with freshly cooked options from the kitchen.
Very friendly staff throughout the hotel. A special mention to Marina for being extra attentive and caring.
The room was warm and a good size, although I cant understand why the shower area would be so disproportionately small. It was fairly clean.
Breakfast was fine, although to call it a 'buffet' is a bit of a stretch. Filter coffee, half a dozen stale croissants and a couple of yogurts. The cooked breakfast element was however much better and I would recommend it.
As a dog owner I had to sit downstairs rather than with the other guests upstairs, 'buffet' and staff - I had to order from the bar. I must admit I felt a bit of an inconvenience to the staff doing so.
I felt the overall tone of the establishment is that the customer is an inconvenience, not just in the downbeat demeanour of the staff (check in, bar and serving, but in the corporate culture of the place. Ordering dinner and drinks via QR code feels a bit Wetherspoons when youre charging upwards of £20 for a meal and £7 a pint and I cant see any clear justification for it.
A grand hotel in a very upmarket area. Close enough to the coast to enjoy all the resorts. Definitely the smartest hotel weve ever stayed in. Enjoyed a lovely weekend here. Would 100% stay again.
The room was beautiful and spacious. We really enjoyed our stay. We wanted to stay for another night but already fully booked.
We definitely coming back again.
