Satisfactory Stay with Good Value

good value helpful staff comfortable bed

My stay had good value. The breakfast was good with helpful staff. The room provided hot water. The comfortable bed ensured restful sleep. I found the location a little further from the seafront than expected, but it was manageable.

The room was quite cold, even when I turned the heating on, and this affected my overall comfort a little. More effective heating would improve the stay.
