Excellent stay with amazing sea views
convenient location clean room cordial staff secure parking
The hotel's location proved very convenient. The bus stop and train station were directly in front (this saved travel time). The room was clean and cute. The staff members were cordial and helpful. I found the allocated parking with its security bar a welcome bonus, providing added peace of mind for my vehicle.
The tv in my room was a bit small.

I booked parking well in advance, but upon arrival, there wasn't any parking reserved for me. The receptionist said this happens a lot and directed me to a nearby car park.
