excellent stay at seaside hotel

vip access friendly staff helpful staff great perk
the hotel provides vip access to pleasure beach. this was a great perk. the staff members are very friendly and cute. they helped me contact nhs, this requires a uk phone. holly even lent me her phone to make sure i could get in touch with them.
i found the bacon at breakfast to be a little too pale for my liking. a slightly more cooked option would be preferable.
