"Great hotel right on the Promenade with fabulous sea views. The hotel has clearly seen better days, some of the furniture is quite worn but still perfectly serviceable. I’m sure some would complain that it looks tired but if you don’t mind that, for the price it is great. There’s a swimming pool and sauna, free parking, three good restaurants and it’s in a great position."
