“I found the location quite advantageous, situating me close to both the seaside and the town's central areas. The rooms, particularly those with bay windows, afforded spectacular sea views that truly enhanced the stay, and the comfortable beds were a welcome touch after a day out. While the building itself shows some signs of age, the modernised interiors and friendly staff made for a genuinely pleasant and restful visit.”
