The hotel features free parking. Check-in was friendly and easy. Attractions and shops are within walking distance. I liked that snacks and drinks at reception were fairly priced. They also had free WiFi, which worked great. The beds were really nice. Well kept. Breakfast was amazing too. The hotel is only five minutes walking distance to the seafront. The staff do an amazing job. It was easy parking for multiple cars.

basic but flawed

low water pressure cracked sink

the location was pretty central for walking around , i guess.

i had issues with the water pressure in the shower , it barely trickled. the bathroom needed some serious updating , the sink had a crack running through it. also , some inconsiderate guests woke me up both nights with their noise , so that wasn't ideal.

convenient location short walk clean room low shower pressure small cubicle unvacuumed stairs

The location proved convenient. It was only a short walk to the town center. I found the room to be clean and spacious (more than I expected, actually).

The shower pressure was quite low. The shower cubicle was also quite small. I thought the stairs could use a vacuum.
