Great location, Clean Rooms!

clean roomsea viewnice locationtight parking
The hotel looks recently refurbished! The rooms and bathrooms are both clean. The hotel is very close to beaches, especially Lusty Glaze. Front rooms have a nice sea view. The location of the hotel makes it walkable to beaches and restaurants.
Hotel car parking is very tight and hard to access! The entrance to the car park at the rear is sloped. another car was blocking the entrance, restricting the space to enter the car park.
