Acceptable, but some shortcomings noticed.

untrained staffchipped cup
The service felt somewhat disorganised. I saw many young, seemingly undertrained staff. Tables were uncleared, and staff members chatted amongst themselves! It was hard to get anyone's attention. This seemed strange. My coffee arrived in A cup with A chip on it.

the building is fine , i liked the communal areas.
the leisure facilities are getting a bit run down , i noticed it. it looks like they are not maintained as well as they could be. the facilities are still nice to use , but there are signs of wear and tear. it's a shame because they could be much better with a bit more attention.

My classic double room side sea view was wonderful! the room featured comfortable furnishings. A beautiful spacious bathroom had a bath. Tea and coffee facilities existed in the room. The facilities included an indoor swimming pool and a steam room. I could not have wanted more from the room and hotel. The staff were friendly.
