Nice hotel and view

Pros: Location location location. Less than 5 min drive from sea terminal. Disabled parking bays almost outside of hotel and ample parking spaces facing hotel on promenade. Disabled access entrance too. Promenade is easy and flat to walk to the electric railway which takes you to some lovely tourist parts of the island. Loved the piano player at night, lovely to relax with some beautiful tunes. Breakfast has absolutely everything you could want and if you wanted boiled eggs, fish, porridge, poached eggs they would make them fresh for you, very accommodating. The staff are all very helpful, pol
