Wonderful Stay with Excellent Service

perfect locationclean areaelectric fanweak shower
I found the hotel's location perfect, directly on the seafront. The communal areas were clean. They were also very smart. My bedroom was quite large. It included everything I needed. I especially appreciated the provision of an electric fan.
The shower wasn't very good and lacked sufficient power. I think that an upgrade would be beneficial.
