Solid Choice for a Short Stay

central locationhelpful stafflocal informationsmall room

I found the location very central. It was close to the seafront and local theaters. The staff proved very helpful . They assisted me with directions and local information.

The room was quite small. I also noticed some noise from adjacent rooms, especially in the evening. This made it a bit difficult to relax fully before sleep.

Rooms

The room was clean and had basic amenities. I found a small wardrobe, a desk, and a television. The bed was firm, but I slept well.

Breakfast included a selection of cereals, toast, and coffee. Hot food options were available, but I did not try them. The dining area was clean, with enough seating.
