a satisfactory stay

helpful staff convenient location daily servicing limited privacy dirty windows inaccurate description

the hotel breakfast was very good , and the staff were helpful. the location was also advantageous , offering easy access to both the town and seafront. my room was clean , and it received daily servicing .

the room i booked online indicated it was a family room for four , but this description was not accurate. the single bed was in an alcove next to the double bed , so there was no privacy.
