Sparkling Clean and Close to Everything!

clean hotelcute staffconvenient locationdelicious breakfast
I loved how clean the hotel was! Everything sparkled, and it. The staff was fabulous, so cute, and nothing was too much trouble for them. They were always ready to help. Being so close to the sea, the pier, and the town center was super convenient. The breakfast was delicious and such a treat each morning!
The room snacks were a bit overpriced, though that's a minor detail.

The hotel is conveniently located a short walk from the town center! It is still tucked away in a nice quiet area, perfect. Being close to the sea, shops, and pubs made exploring easy.
Rooms

The Luxury Sea View room had luxurious touches, such as the posh glasses and mirror furnishings. Everything was well thought of and beautifully designed, I loved the floor-to-ceiling windows in the bathroom looking into the bedroom. The room was super clean too!

The room had floor to ceiling windows in the bathroom. This looked into the bedroom. Breakfast included a very good choice of menu. The staff greeted me at the door and were always friendly.
The hotel does not have air conditioning, so I slept with the windows open. The area was noisy.
