a seaside dream
secure garagehelpful staffsilver servicevalet parking
The concierge showed us to secure garage parking. It was excellent. I felt completely at ease. the staff were helpful. i found the service next level, silver service was in the dining room, including breakfast, with nothing too much trouble. valet parking became an additional bonus! i felt wonderfully cared for.
the water pressure from the taps was terrible. i did find this somewhat inconvenient.

the hotel sits right on the seafront. its position is very convenient. the broad terrace allows a choice of sun or shade, and the closeness to the beach makes accessing it very easy.

Acceptable Stay, Reception Issues
excellent locationunwelcoming reception
The location was excellent. It was right on the Esplanade.
The reception staff seemed rather unwelcoming (perhaps I didn't fit their desired guest profile). Upon arrival, I wasn't greeted with the same warmth that other guests received. This.

The food was excellent! The location on the sea front was very convenient. The hotel's exterior made a statement. I found the staff to be polite and open to approach.
I found that the room was not serviced one day. The bed was not made, and there were no toilet rolls. There was no tea, coffee, or milk. The wet towels remained. They tried to charge us for two teas costing over £8, but we never had them.
