the location was great by the pier. staff were friendly and helpful throughout my short stay. my premier king room was spacious and comfortable, complete with a good en-suite bathroom and a lovely sea view (i loved waking up to that). wi-fi worked perfectly too.
the third floor corridor felt very narrow. i could hear other guests talking as they passed my room, giving the impression they were inside. it disrupted my sleep a bit.
