The room was very clean and the bed was so comfy, provided you are prepared to move everything out of the way to stop it getting wet. The king size room with sea views was beautiful, especially in the morning overlooking the pier.

My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant overall. The rooms were spotless and had a very modern feel, with cozy amenities like a comfy bed and a good shower. Unfortunately, being on the bottom floor didn't offer much privacy, and we couldn't enjoy the paid sea view due to constant foot traffic. The service was superb, and the location was great, though a bit noisy at times. Dining options were somewhat disappointing on one occasion, but the facilities were top-notch.

I stayed at this hotel for a few days, and it had its pros and cons. The room was compact but had all the necessary facilities, including Sky TV, which was a nice addition. However, the layout of the room, being two rooms made into one, felt a bit awkward and lacked proper planning.
