comfortable stay near the beach

convenient location free parking easy explorations

The hotel has a very convenient location. it is close to the pier and the beach. This made it easy to enjoy the seaside. i found readily available free parking on the street near the hotel. it was very useful for my explorations around the area.

the noise from an extractor fan was very loud. it went on and off all night, waking me up several times.

Rooms

8/10

the room was a good size with a comfy bed. it looked like the room had been modernised. however, the carpet still had stains and looked worn. the en-suite is quite dated but it was clean and usable.
