I was a bit disappointed with the bar situation. There was a bar downstairs, but it seemed unattended during my entire stay. This meant I had to leave the hotel to get a drink, inconvenient. I also found out breakfast was not included in my rate, though I wasn't informed of this upon arrival..

The location is near the promenade. A short walk will get you there. The Double Room had tea and coffee. The cooked breakfast was lovely and had a good choice of cereal, so I enjoyed it.

The towels felt slightly rough against my skin after showering.
