The White Rock Hotel is appreciated for its prime seafront location, directly opposite the pier and conveniently near buses for exploring other locations. Many guests found their rooms spacious, especially the sea view rooms, and enjoyed the comfortable beds. Breakfast at the on-site café is considered good and reasonably priced, although some guests have noted that the hotel could benefit from updating its decor.
