solid stay with lovely sea views
sea view room helpful staff nice touches
the location worked well it provided easy access to the seafront. i booked a sea view room and appreciated the the provided fan and fridge. the breakfast and evening meal offered plenty of variety and the staff were very helpful throughout my visit.
i noticed the room could use some updating as it looked a bit dated. it would improve the experience overall. while everything was functional a refresh would make a big difference in the room's appearance.

The room had a balcony. I enjoyed the location. It was a five-minute walk into town (very convenient). Breakfast offered many choices. I could have as much or as little as I wanted.
The lift doors made a noticeable noise during operation.
