surprisingly quiet and conveniently located!

english breakfast double bed easy access
the full english breakfast was great. i had a triple room, it included two single beds and a double bed, perfect for my group. the sea front and the tram stop were also only a few minutes away. it was convenient.
on arrival, the door had towels in front, i had to move them to check in. i felt this was a little inconvenient. a minor thing, but still.
