I was greeted warmly and felt welcome immediately! i easily parked in the large car park. the location is fantastic. I could walk to the beach in just minutes!!!
the coffee and tea in the room tasted a bit odd, possibly due to the water.

The location was excellent. It made it easy to get to the center for shops and restaurants. The hotel had a large car park. I had no worries about parking.
There was no outside door key. I had to ring the bell to get in. This left me concerned about getting back in. There was no other food available. The local restaurants were poor.

The sea view from my Family Room Sea View was lovely! I also appreciated the free secure parking they offered. It was a huge relief knowing my car was safe. The complimentary breakfast was a pleasant surprise. It had a good choice of options.
The coffee and tea in the room tasted slightly off, I think it might have been the water.
