Excellent breakfast buffet, friendly and helpful staff, especially Phillipa at the front desk. The hotel is on a cliff overlooking the ocean, and a short walk into the high street area. Unfortunately they were remodeling some areas so we only had one elevator. I stayed on the fourth floor and had a great view of the coastline and the city. The bed was very comfortable and the bathroom very clean and modern. I would definitely stay here again.
Sunrise from nearby. I think you can see France!
