Perfect location, friendly staff, clean...

Liked: The staff at the front desk was really friendly. The hotel was overall really clean and the location is ideal
Disliked: You could hear people speaking and walking in the hallways but that is to be expected in an old building.

Altogether pleasant spring break!

Liked: Staff altogether wonderful, eg. Valeria waitress, Katie (?) on reception. I slept better than at home.I see this as a grand old hotel which has seen better days, but I see you are making real effort to refurbish building, with good number of painters, decoraters and the like around.Very good value for four nights (single) with breakfast and, three evening meals; pleasant sun lounge overlooking promenade; location on Marine Drive perfect.I like patronising employee-owned business, and if ever visiting places where this group has an hotel, I'll probably stay there.Good to see memoribilia of hotel displayed, eg. old bills, photos of 1938 local hoteliers' dinner/dance, etc.Over years I've paid more for less value.
Disliked: Sorry that snooker room not available. Type of singing and bingo, etc. not my type of entertainment - no problem I could "make my excuses and leave". I couldn't get TV to work in Room 520, probably my own fault. I forgot to inform reception, just listened to radio on own mobile.

Perfect relaxing break in a...

Liked: Beautiful hotel and very well maintained. Fantastic breakfast and friendly service. Beautiful period staircase and windows - a joy to see. Spotlessly clean everywhere. Hotel is in a wonderful position with incredible view of sea and pier.
Disliked: The bar and room at the front of the hotel overlooking the sea could be put to more use as it would make a perfect spot to sit and have coffee or a drink during the day.
