Hotel is tired and needs some refurbishment, cracked tiles in entrance. Furniture walls knocked and marked . Bedroom spacious and clean but dated , bed lined poor, beds with sagging mattress. Furniture knocked and worn, newest bathroom but cracked wobbly floor tiles, broken cabinet, rusty towel rail, shower door would not close. Staff very friendly, views from hotel superb. Breakfast is quantity over quality.

We stayed in Beach view apartment, the rooms were a little bit dated, could do with a wee refurb. Litter was found in bedroom drawers and a dirty pair of ladies underwear was found under one of the single beds(by one of my children) Disgusting. Staff were lovely in hotel and the food was amazing.
