Solid stay with superb service

helpful staff sea view easy parking

I found the staff genuinely helpful and cute. I also appreciated the building's character, particularly the sea views available from the terrace. Easy parking also helped my travel, it made arrivals and departures straightforward.

The room did get quite warm, and I found the window difficult to keep open. A better solution for ventilation would be a great help .

Charming Stay with Good Details

many choices convenient parking

The breakfast provided many choices. The lady taking breakfast orders was knowledgeable about the area and the hotel's history. Convenient car parking was available at the hotel. The staff were friendly and kind. They put up a banner and balloons in my daughter's room for her birthday.

The sea view room with a balcony was not worth the premium rate I paid. An air conditioning unit ran right outside the balcony door from early morning until late at night. This made sitting on the balcony or even having the door open very noisy.

nice seating outside seating comfortable room helpful staff loud environment slamming doors unwelcoming atmosphere

The restaurant offered very nice outside seating. The room was comfortable, a Family Room met our needs well. All the staff were helpful .

I found the environment very loud at times. I did not really feel welcome initially. Our table kept getting knocked by the slamming doors, quite bothersome.
