The hotel offers marvelous views and a nice bathroom in the rooms but could benefit from updated decor. The service, while efficient, lacks perks like room service or a welcome drink. The location is excellent right along the seafront, close to the main promenade and town center. The dining experience serves delightful European cuisine. The facilities are standard without any standout features but are worth the price paid.
