I did not use the sauna or pool due to time constraints but it all looked very clean and tidy. My room was quite cramped even for one and view was over a back street. However that said I didn't spend much time in there and it was clean an comfortable with a decent shower. I only used the restaurant for breakfast and found the staff very helpful. Being vegetarian there wasn't an alternative choice to sausage and bacon i.e. meat free products.
That said I would recommend the hotel to anyone who wishes to stay in a clean and comfortable environment.

Didn't have dinner at the hotel but the breakfast was a perfectly good hot buffet. Parking is limited, but I managed to find a space on the road in front and they gave me a free parking voucher so I wouldn't get a ticket. Pretty good access to the town centre and good position overlooking the sea. However, on the down side my single room was small and the washing/shower facilities very cramped. Entry to the shower cubicle was restricted as it was so close to the lavatory. On balance, though, good value, and if I'd taken my swimming trunks I could have used the pool in the basement!

Check in was smooth, the receptionist was extremely polite and explained things really well, first impressions were good.
Although we had to ask for the bedspread to be changed, the hotel is generally clean. Despite being on the main staircase, the room was extremely quiet at night, although the sound of breaking glass bottles being thrown into the bin outside in the evening was startling and I'm sure unnecessary.
Breakfast time was chaotic. There aren't enough tables or staff in the reastaurant for the busy periods. Guests were asked to wait in the bar area for a table to come free. When seated, we had to ask for tea and toast several times before it arrived. Several of the waiters/waitresses were obviously doing their utmost to serve guests while others wandered round aimlessly. The food from the breakfast buffet was extremely good.
The restaurant was fully booked in the evening hence we were unable to get an evening meal even though we asked before the suggested 6.00pm deadline.
The pool and sauna were good, despite being small. The whole area is clean and well kept. The pool was large enough to swim in and the sauna large enough to accomodate 4 or 5 people at a push.
