Certainly comfortable , clean and in a fine position on the seafront. For such a reputable hotel I found some things disappointing. The reception welcome was efficient but lacking warmth and friendliness and breakfast was only average. I don't think you should be expected to wait more than 20 minutes for a fried egg on toast, nor have to ask for toast and marmalade - a miserly small jar was meant to be spread over 4 pieces. Unfortunately, these small quibbles came on top of a horrific evening spent with a band providing non- stop drum beating from 8-10.30 adjacent to our room, preventing our reading, watching television or opening a window for fresh air. We sadly won't be returning in a hurry!
