Great Experience!

homely stayconvenient locationfriendly staffpoor pressure
It felt very homely and I enjoyed my stay as a solo traveler. The hotel is close to the beach, the pier and The Lanes. This location is very convenient. The breakfast had lots of choice and the staff was friendly!
The shower had no pressure at all. The bathroom is tiny. There is barely any room to move around in there. The hotel is dated and needs a refresh.
