The staff were really good, they were quick to help with any issues. all amenities were available . i found the location very convenient too. Everything was within easy reach.
the door to my room let in a lot of noise from the corridor, doors slamming kept me awake. parking was very limited on site. i had to park round on one of the back roads, it was quite busy too.

a haven by the sea

friendly stafffine locationparking reservationcarpet stain
I found the reception staff to be friendly. They offered helpful advice about local attractions. the location was fine, providing easy access to the beach. my room had a comfortable bed, ensuring i could rest after my daily explorations, and i reserved my parking, a convenient perk.
I did notice some minor stains on the carpet in my room. It was a small issue, but it did detract slightly from the overall cleanliness.
