It's a solid choice, especially given its location near the beach and the value it represents, particularly during the off-season.”

The hotel's location near the seafront was a highlight for me. I found the stroll to town and the pier very convenient and enjoyable. Lewis helped me with my bags. He also provided useful tips about local dining options (that was a great help!). I was pleased to receive complimentary breakfast due to the hotel's recent reopening.

The sink in my room was draining a bit slowly.
