Acceptable stay

helpful staffbirthday signclean roomsmall bedroomdifficult accessblocked wardrobe
The staff where really helpful. They stuck a happy birthday sign on the door. The room was spacious and very clean, I must say.
The bedroom was described as a double but was too small. The door barely cleared the bed when I entered the room. Access to the wardrobe was difficult cause there was a table in front of it.

Comfortable stay with helpful staff

helpful staffcooked breakfastideal location
The staff helped me locate the car park easily. I enjoyed the lovely cooked breakfast, and there were other choices available too. The hotel location is ideal. I had a nice view from the third floor looking out to the seafront, and it was great to wake up to that.
The room would benefit from updating.
