Hotel average at best, but it was cheap so you get what you paid for. No lifts, shower in a closet, with carpet on the floor. Staff extremely friendly helpful.

Very nice staff and comfortable bed however the carpet was old and worn to the point where there was hoops of carpet big enough to trip me by the bathroom door and sharp pins sticking up from under the window where it should hold down the carpet but there was not much carpet left there .. a few stains on the wall but other than that enjoyed it

Nice views - through dirty, permanently locked windows. No ventilation or ac, no window to open. Free car park means park on the street. Very nartow shower - average person will struggle to get inside. To use the kettle, you need to put it on the floor - cable too short to connect it in position from the photo. Good things: kitchen. Beach at the other side of the road. Lot of dining options

Central accommodation, right on the promenade. The man who checked us in was friendly, informative with clear instructions. Beds were comfortable and linen very clean. The towels smelled lovely. Plenty of room in the bathroom. Handy to the shops. Free parking outside

Position was great. No mirror in bedroom or power in bathroom which meant you had to stand outside bathroom to dry your hair. Shower difficult to get into and move around but shower was good. Threadbare carpets on stairs. Blinds had no controller. Having said the above I would return purely for the position.

Nice place and good value, but tired.

Great view and overall I was happy with the accommodation. Carpet is a bit threadbare and bathroom door needs to be slammed to shut. It was clean and today and for my purposes it was fine. Location is great and the view is amazing.
