The location was divine. it's directly across from the pier. a bus stop nearby adds convenience for exploring beyond the immediate area. I found it useful for venturing further. i really enjoyed the close proximity to shops, it made it easy to pick up anything i needed.
the shower pressure was somewhat inconsistent, which could be a little frustrating.

adequate locationcracked flooraggressive email
the location, i must admit, was adequate to my needs.
THE room was quite small and frankly, a little dingy. The bathroom floor tiles were cracked, a charming touch, directly where you step out of the shower. i received a rather aggressive email listing all the things i wasn't allowed to do, and frankly, it set the mood for a rather unpleasant stay.

Superb Seaside Stay!!!
room decorcozy bedsea viewbathroom sink
The room decor was very nice. The sea view from the "Double Room Sea View" room was wonderful. I could see everything! The bed was very cozy. I fell asleep immediately. I appreciate the hotel's proximity to the sea and the pier.
There was a small crack in the bathroom sink, and the top of one of the sink taps was missing. These issues require attention and could improve the bathroom's overall condition.
