EXCELLENT beachfront stay!

spacious reception area friendly staff clean room easy check-in
The reception area is refurbished. It is VERY spacious and cute! Staff are friendly and helpful. The room was in good order. It was clean and bigger than I expected. I was lucky to get a room with a sea view. The beach is literally across the road. Online check-in worked great. Getting the room key at reception was quick and easy.
The building looks a little tired from the outside, but the inside is surprisingly good.

cracked sink weak pressure
I was a little disappointed by a few things. the bathroom sink was cracked, that wasn't ideal, and the water pressure in the shower was quite weak. It made showering a bit difficult. also, the cleanliness of the carpets left something to be desired. They really needed a good vacuuming. these issues did detract a little from the stay, unfortunately.

Underwhelming experience.

lukewarm water continuous heating
The bed in my Standard Queen Room Non-Smoking was reasonably comfortable.
The plumbing system was clearly struggling. I had lukewarm water for a shower only sometimes. Staff told me the heating is on full blast constantly. I had to sleep with the window open because it was so hot. The wind made for a noisy night.
