Acceptable stay but some issues

good breakfastsmall roompoor internet
The breakfast was good.
The room felt quite small considering the price paid. I had difficulty getting the EV charger to work, I needed to download an app and enter my card details, but the internet access was poor. This was frustrating AS I booked this hotel because it had an EV charger.

My room faced the sea. The view was expansive. Breakfast offered many cooked-to-order selections. This hotel provides convenient access to the beach directly from the premises. I also found ample parking behind the building.

I loved the sea view from my King Room, a romantic sight. The room included nice toiletries and plenty of towels (always a plus). Breakfast was excellent. I particularly enjoyed the Eggs Benedict. I also appreciated the hotel's proximity to the beach. The location is perfect for seaside walks.
The shower pressure was a bit low, but it wasn't a major issue.

I had a really good christmas lunch. The staff and food were amazing. barbara, our waitress, was lovely. The view was fine. house champagne was very reasonable.
I stayed next to a family room with screaming children and their parents from 2 to 3:30. noise started again at 5. i could hear every single word. The walls need to be thicker.

Wonderful Beachside Break

The breakfast offered a beautiful view of the beach from the dining area. I particularly enjoyed the a la carte menu we tried in the evening. The hotel location is fantastic near the train station and also has free parking. I found the online billing and checkout process very convenient.
My only very minor issue was the slow service from the bar staff when trying to order drinks outside.

Our king room was very comfy and tidy. The bed provided excellent support (I slept soundly!), and the room's furnishings were tasteful and well-kept. The sea view room also featured a cute balcony.
