The hotel is ideally situated, very near the seafront and close to the pier. The rooms with great views and frosted glass windows are a nice touch, though with bunk beds. The service from housekeeping and the welcome drink was excellent, but missed out on the porter's warmth upon arrival. The dining experience was satisfying though toast was not served. The facilities provided good value for money.

The hotel offers beautiful views from the rooms, but the bunk beds in the lobby area might not suit everyone's taste. The service is excellent, especially the welcome drink and housekeeping. The location is fantastic, close to everything in Sandown and not far from the beach. However, the dining experience lacks variety in dairy products. Overall, a great value for a family-friendly stay near the sea.
