A Solid Stay by the Coast

The ensuite room offered a clean, quiet environment. The hotel's proximity to the town centre made access to amenities very easy. I appreciated that it was quite clean and very acceptable after a long journey. The bed was very neat.

I found the hotel signage to be quite minimal. It was difficult to spot initially. It would benefit guests if the hotel addressed this visibility issue.
