the staff was very friendly and helpful . the breakfast included a nice selection of freshly cooked items and plenty of tea and toast. the location was convenient, close to the south pier and the beach..

the check-in area was not clearly marked upon arrival. i found the host to be somewhat blunt and unfriendly during the check-in process. the room, located on the top floor facing the road, had a noticeable smell of pet urine and dampness.

The location is central, just a short walk to the south pier. the owner was friendly. He engaged in conversation. the bed was comfortable, and fluffy pillows were provided. breakfast was included and the price seemed reasonable.

i noticed bits on the floor upon arrival. the carpet seemed dirty and not well kept. mold was visible on the walls, especially in the bathroom. i also noticed the curtains were hanging off, stapled on in places.
