The hotel offers spacious and well-presented rooms furnished to a high standard with intriguing celebrity pictures on the walls. While the ambiance is great, some noise from the floorboards above can be a minor disturbance. The service is exceptional, with a very friendly and attentive staff providing excellent service; plus, a delightful welcome drink awaits guests. The location is fantastic, with easy access to the seafront and situated on a charming tree-lined road, though the space within the room might feel a bit confined. Dining options are a mix, ranging from very good with a choice of continental or English breakfast to some basic dishes that may not meet everyone's taste. Overall, a pleasant experience with clean rooms and good parking facilities available.

7.0/10

The hotel offers rooms that are a bit more interesting than normal with a cozy atmosphere, but overlook a derelict building. The service is excellent at both reception and the breakfast room, although there is an extra charge for a welcome drink. The location is convenient, being a short walk to the beach and city center, but somewhat soulless. The dining experience, while tasty, lacks fresh fruit and yoghurt as expected, with basic cooked items served together instead of in stages. Overall, a decent place to stay with some unique features.

The hotel had a Michael Jackson-themed room which was quirky but noisy due to squeaking floors and needed a modern makeover. The service was polite but slow, with some mishaps like serving drinks in hot glasses. The location was nice, close to the center and beach but noisy at times. The dining experience was mixed, with some dishes being cold, and lacking variety. Overall, it was a decent stay with room for improvements.
