Great location with friendly service

attentive staffconvenient car parkindian buffetquick walk

The staff were very attentive and helpful throughout my stay. The hotel provides a convenient car park without additional charges. I had a quick walk to the beach each morning. The food in the restaurant was wonderful. I particularly enjoyed the indian buffet.

The room felt a little warm upon arrival but the radiator was promptly fixed when I asked.

Basic stay with some issues

friendly staffdraughty windowpoor finish bathroom

The staff was friendly and the location was amazing.

The room felt worn and outdated. I noticed the bathroom had a poor finish with sharp areas around the sink and the bathroom door. I found that the bedroom windows were draughty (it was cold at night).

friendly staffpoor ventilationcramped room

the staff were friendly. i can't fault that.

the bathroom was a real letdown. the shower pressure was practically nonexistent, and it took forever for the water to heat up.. also, the room felt cramped and stuffy. there wasn't enough space to move around comfortably, and the ventilation was poor, hard to sleep.
