excellent spot, central location

central location comfy bed tea facilities
the location is spot on for the town. i walked to the beach area in minutes. the room was super clean and modern. the bed was very comfy and i found tea and coffee facilities in the room.
the drinks were a bit expensive. a carling cost £4.80, it tasted weak.

the room was very clean. it was well stocked with everything i needed for my stay. the bed was comfy (i slept really well).
the lift is tiny. i chose to use the stairs instead. the decor on the landings needed updating, it felt a bit 'faulty towers'. the air freshener had an unusual smell that i didn't particularly like.
