Solid Stay, Central Location
prime location helpful staff ample storage
I found the staff very accommodating. They offered a complimentary room upgrade. The location is PRIME near the pier and local restaurants. I appreciated the cleanliness of room 5, with ample storage in the large wardrobe.
The corridors were somewhat dark because the lights switched off too quickly.
