I found the location very convenient, only a short walk from the train station. being directly across from the beach was a definite plus. off-road parking was available, convenient. The soft, clean towels were also a nice touch.

the hotel uses a malaysian restaurant on the ground floor, and i found the setup somewhat unusual. the english breakfast buffet had limited options though the food was prepared well.

Wonderful Stay Near the Sea

My room included modern, smart features like Alexa-controlled curtains and lighting. It was definitely a novelty. I appreciated the hotel's proximity to the train station, a major plus for easy travel (i didn't bring a car). Free coffee was available, which helped start my mornings right. The staff seemed attentive and helpful.

The room cleaning occurred every other day, which required me to request fresh towels sometimes.

Great location, recent updates!!!

The room was clean. The hotel is close to the city centre and nearby restaurants. Private parking was available. The staff was helpful.

I would have appreciated notification prior to arrival. This made access to the second floor difficult.

Dining

The breakfast included eggs, baked beans, sausages, hash browns, and mushrooms. Bacon was also available on request, and the floor manager quickly provided it when asked. The bread was cheap and burned when toasted.

Facilities

The room had been recently modernised. The TV bracket was installed incorrectly, resulting in a flat mounting , made viewing from the bed difficult. The windows were dirty and gave the room a run-down feel.

The hotel provides convenient parking, simplifying arrival and departure. Check-in was seamless, and the advanced technology in the room was excellent. I especially liked the large shower and the alexa integration. The room also had a balcony.

The window chord was broken, making the window difficult to open fully (a minor inconvenience).
