i found the location was really convenient and the room offered very decent value. the room size was surprisingly good considering the price i paid. facilities included a kettle and a tv and the room temperature was warm. it was very peaceful where the room was positioned and i slept soundly.

amazing stay near the sea!
cute staff lovely view
the staff was so cute. i arrived early and they answered right away when i phoned! john was especially cute. the room had a lovely view overlooking the pier and the seafront. the rooms are comfy and cosy!
there were a few drawers in the cupboard that didn't fit, it looked a little odd. the bedside table drawers slide open randomly, the floor seems slanted.

surprisingly good stay
convenient location comfortable bed friendly staff cute atmosphere
i found the location really convenient. it was near many shops and the seafront. the room was clean, and the bed was very comfortable, i rested well. the staff member at check-out was very friendly and cute.
the bedside table drawers did slide open a bit on their own, probably because of a slight slant on the floor, it was a minor thing though.
