Don't advertise parking if you can't provide it

Being part of a 2,000 mile road trip we picked this hotel because it provided parking facilities for €20 per night. I was sent a pre-check in questionnaire which I duly filled in ahead of time, part of which was my request for a parking space close to reception as I have a painful back issue (slipped disc). However, upon arrival I was promptly told that there were no parking spaces available, despite the hotel offering spaces and my request for said parking. At no point prior to check in was I informed that there were no parking spaces available, instead I was told I could park in the pay and display areas around the hotel but these were prohibitively expensive and therefore out of the question. I was then left to try and find alternative parking elsewhere and ended up a twenty minute walk from the hotel. A poor show that tainted an otherwise excellent trip..

The moment we arrived, the lady on reception was incredibly welcoming, friendly and helpful, and this level of service continued from all staff until we checked out. Great decor throughout the hotel and it was very conveniently located so we could walk to restaurants and bars. We would definitely stay here again.

Nice room with a balacony. Close to the seafront. Excellent air con, good shower. No fridge which would have been handy and breakfast didn't have a lot of options, no gluten free bread but did say could order. Decent hotel, would stay again.

I loved the hotel and location. The room was nice and clean. I was not very happy with the staff when it came to helping with parking information. We arrived at about 9pm after driving for about 10 hours and the gentleman at the reception said that the parking was completely full. I asked him where we could park and he did not know. Finally, we were lucky enough to find parking on the street which was free until 9am. He stated that parking was free from 9-10am. After that we needed to put money in the meter. Next morning a female was in the reception area and I asked her if there was any parking available since many people leave early, she also said no. I asked her about parking and she said she did not know you would think that the hotel would know where to refer their clients if they do not have parking. Finally, we found parking on our own, very inexpensive and around the corner from the hotel. The parking that we had used the previous night not only they charged for the 9-10am parking but they were asking for 35 euros for 2.5 hours. Ridiculous!
