The location impressed me. It was a short walk to the beach. Numerous restaurants were also nearby, including a great Korean place. The room offered a sea view. towels, tea, coffee, a TV, and a fridge. The hotel provided bathroom miniatures. I didn't anticipate those extras. Beds were very comfy!

Surprising seaside stay

The location is close to the beach. A two minute walk made access very easy. Many restaurants were within a two minute walk, and a Korean restaurant stood on the same road as the hotel. The room had a sea view. Towels sat rolled neatly on the bed. Tea and coffee making facilitys were provided.

It was a slight frustration I had to go next door to check in, as no staff were onsite.
