Excellent Stay near the Town Center

friendly staffideal locationclean roomcar parking
The staff was friendly making me feel very welcome! The location proved ideal. It was a short walk to both the beach and the town centre. My room was very clean, furnished well, and included a mini fridge. Leaving my car pre and post check-in was allowed which I appreciated.
The room was ok though a little worn. The bed looked great online but was not as great in person.
Dining

Though the hotel does not offer breakfast, many nearby places are available. The room included tea and coffee making facilities, bottled water and some biscuits. These were replenished each day, thoughtful.
