the ground floor room with a private entrance accommodated my dog. there was ample space, a comfortable bed, and a well-appointed en suite bathroom. free on-street parking was available near the hotel. i could watch steam trains pass, as the track was nearby. the location across from the park offered easy access to the beach, perfect for walks.
the online check-in process required filling out a form, this felt unnecessary during my holiday.
