The location is fantastic, right opposite the beach and an easy walk into town or up to Connaught Gardens. The room had a lovely dual aspect sea view. The staff are lovely, especially the people behind the bar who are really going out of their way to be accommodating. We sat at a lovely table by the window looking directly out over the sea for breakfast. We were able to park directly outside the hotel with a blue badge. The room was a reasonable size, had a nice little table and chairs inside and the balcony with table and chairs outside. If you are staying for longer than a couple of nights, there is a wardrobe and a couple of cabinets each the side of the bed where you could unpack and put clothes. Very nice to look outside and open the patio doors and hear the sea. The bathroom was newly refurbished. Someone kindly came to help to bring our bags downstairs when we were leaving.
We were in room 18, which really must be marked up in future as being unsuitable for people who are not fully mobile. There is a very ancient lift which is very awkward to get people in and out of if you are supporting them. Once you arrive on the first floor, you have to go through three or four doors which are very heavy to get to room 18. If you are supporting someone, that alone is very difficult. In addition to that, it is quite a long walk for someone who is not very physically able and there are also three stairs. In addition to this, I would highlight that it is difficult to access the hotel itself, both entrances have a series of steps up and doors which again are heavy and awkward. Breakfast is also awkward if you are with someone who is not physically able. Whilst we had a lovely table by the window looking out over the sea, this meant that I had to trot up and down the length of the breakfast room several times, to get tea, toast, yoghurt, everything other than the hot food.. I would say breakfast is not relaxing unless you are fully able-bodied and your companion is. The curtains in the bedroom are purely for decoration, the light streams through them, they are not blackout in any sense.
