I found convenient parking just up the road. It cost £9.50 for 24 hours, a fair price for peace of mind.

Adequate Stay Near the Promenade

convenient location friendly staff clean room small room faulty window insufficient heating

The location proved convenient for accessing nearby shops. The staff were friendly. My room was clean. I appreciated that the price was reasonable for my needs.

The room felt a bit small for the number of guests it accommodated. The windows did not fully close. It became quite cold as a result and the heating struggled to keep pace. There wasn't enough hot water in the room at times.
