The hotel offers surprising treats in the rooms, with a great view and good facilities. The service, particularly housekeeping, was top-notch. The location is right on the seafront with plenty of on-street parking, surrounded by beautiful buildings and close to the Italian gardens and pier. The dining includes hot dogs. However, the price might not match the value for money in terms of facilities.
