Seaside Bliss

sea view ample bathroom friendly staff

We enjoyed the cosy room, complete with a sea view and spacious bathroom. I found the breakfast offered excellent value, and the staff members were both friendly and helpful. The festive decorations added to the hotel's charm (I really felt the holiday spirit!). The New Year entertainment, coordinated by Dave, was also superb.

I noticed the room needed some attention, particularly regarding dust on the wardrobe top and the desk plug socket. A deeper clean would greatly improve the overall impression.

Rooms

The room featured a comfortable double bed and a small seating area near the window. There was a television with several channels and a small desk suitable for light work. The bathroom had both a shower and a bathtub. complimentary toiletries.

clean room friendly staff dining recommendation run down homeless refuge safety concern

the room was clean and the bathroom was also clean. i appreciated the staff's friendliness. i asked a staff member about dining options since the hotel did not offer evening meals and she recommended a great place.

i found the hotel to be a bit run down. the hotel seemed to be acting as a homeless refuge.

i had a double room sea view. the room was clean and tidy with complimentary tea and coffee. breakfast was a feast (especially the vegetarian sausages).

the double glazing did not completely block the wind noise.
