surprisingly great stay!

clean room sea view friendly staff great value

The room was large, clean, and good. i could see the sea from my room. The location was perfect. the staff were kind, happy, and friendly. They were very helpful. i felt it was good value for money, and i would stay there again!!!

the bed was a bit too firm for my taste, but it wasn't a major issue.

a somewhat tired stay

broken radiators visible mold

the location was right on the seafront.

The room i had needed some serious attention. the radiators did not work (and it was rather chilly). there was also visible mold on the walls, i must say. the windows did not close properly. I could hear the wind banging all night. this, coupled with the thin walls, ensured a rather sleepless stay.
