Excellent Seaside Stay!
quiet room mini fridge tea facilities clean room
The room faced the street. It was surprisingly quiet. The room included a fan, iron with an ironing board. a mini fridge stocked with water and juice. Tea and coffee facilities with biscuits were provided. It was clean. I appreciated the attention to detail.
The pillows were hard. It is just my personal preference, though.

The location is great and central. It is minutes from coffee shops, restaurants, and shops. The information in the room provides details for health services, should any issues arise . They have considered everything.
Rooms
10/10
The furnishings were subtle and stylish. They seemed new or well-kept. The bed was gloriously comfortable! All appliances worked well except the tv channel availability. It was bizarre and limited, but everything else was perfect.
