Really good Seafront Stay

prime locationspacious roomcoffee amenitylate check-out
The hotel offered a prime location near the pier. My room was spacious and featured comfortable beds. Tea and coffee amenities were available within the room. The free car park at the rear was convenient despite its tight access. The hotel staff were very accommodating and granted a late check-out.
I noticed that the floorboards made noise. Even a quiet walk caused creaking.
