I really liked the free parking, but sometimes there were no spaces. In that case, my car was moved.

Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Guests consistently praise the good-sized rooms, some of which feature a fridge, and the plentiful breakfasts. Its location, a short walk to the town centre and just a couple of hundred yards from the Promenade and seafront, is frequently highlighted. Free parking is considered a real benefit, though some guests have noted the thin walls can lead to some noise issues at night. The beach is even closer, easily accessible for a quick stroll.

missing battery cover inconsistent water temperature

I am dismayed at several aspects of my stay. the television remote in my room was missing its battery cover, a clear oversight. also, the shower temperature fluctuated wildly. I had to constantly adjust the dials. these issues detracted from what should have been a seamless experience. the lack of attention to these details is unacceptable.

a tender stay

comfy bed great location friendly hosts thoughtful touch

The bed was really comfy and i loved the location, it was really close to everything i needed. larry and linda, the hosts, were really friendly and helpful. They were always ready with a smile. they had beach towels and buckets available. It was a lovely, thoughtful touch who wanted to enjoy the nearby beach.

the walls are thin and i could hear the tv from the next room late at night, but i know that's not really the hotel's fault.
