friendly staff ideal location
i found the staff friendly and efficient throughout my stay the reception staff were always ready to help with directions and local tips the bar staff were great too always serving with a smile it created a cute atmosphere. The location proved ideal with easy access to the seafront and other local attractions everything was within walking distance, really convenient.
the bedroom was quite hot during the day, even with the window open a small improvement like a fan in the room would help a lot to make guests more comfortable during warm weather.

mixed feelings about my visit

fan unit no telephone
The location was REALLY central, and close to many attractions. It was easy to walk everywhere.
I wanted food from the bar, BUT it stopped serving early in the evening. I had to find a local takeout. The room was next to some kind of fan unit. Fans were constantly on ALL night. There was no telephone in the room, so I couldn't call reception.
