“The position here is remarkable, placing you mere minutes from the seafront, the Leas, and the harbour, negating the need for transport. While parking requires a purchased ticket from reception, the convenience of being able to settle in front is a definite plus. Inside, a sense of faded glory meets ongoing refurbishment, hinting at a renewed charm with some notable Art Deco remnants.”
