Review summary
Based on recent reviews

Guests consistently praise the spacious, clean rooms, often noting the comfortable beds and the convenience of having a mini-fridge along with tea and coffee making facilities with fresh milk. Many rooms offer a glimpse of the sea, and the hot breakfast is a particular highlight, with plenty of fresh choices. While some guests have mentioned the exterior of the building needing some attention, the hotel's location is undeniably fantastic, with easy walking distance to the beach and the pier, and several dog-friendly beaches nearby.

A Dog-Friendly Gem Close to the Beach

spacious roomclean roomfriendly staffdog-friendly
The room was quite spacious and clean. Breakfast offered many choices and the staff were friendly (I especially appreciated the fresh milk in the room's fridge). They welcomed my dog, a big plus. I found it easy to leave my car there after checkout while I spent the morning at the beach.
The exterior was a little untidy and could use some updating.
