Fantastic Seaside Find!

perfect locationfriendly staffworn hallways
The location was perfect for exploring. Everything was so close (I could walk to the beach in minutes!). The staff was friendly and helpful, ready to assist with any request. I really enjoyed my stay and I felt well looked after. The bed was super comfy, and the room had lovely seaside views.
The hotel could benefit from some updates (the hallways looked a little worn).
Rooms

The room included fresh towels, tea and coffee making facilities. a TV, so I could relax after a long day of sightseeing. The large windows offered sea views. I enjoyed the natural light and scenery every morning. The beds were very comfortable. I slept soundly each night.
Dining

There are options for breakfast, and you could order an evening meal before 5 pm (I found that quite convenient!). While they don't sell alcohol, bringing your own is allowed, which suited me just fine. Plenty of cafes are nearby to grab a coffee or snack.
Service

The front desk operates 24 hours a day (that provides great peace of mind!). The staff quickly addressed any questions I had with a smile. Their friendly approach. Check-in was quick and easy.
