Easy check in, clean room, comfortable bed, nice bathroom. There are stairs to the first floor with no lift so no good if you have mobility issues. I had a free drink voucher which was nice. The food at the pub was great and reasonably priced. Plenty of parking at the back. Easy walk to many places and not far to the beach. Recommended.

While the entrance, a little run down and confusing, and lack of a lift (when lugging large suitcases) is a little off putting, the rooms are clean, bedding very comfortable and decor is modern. Great overnight stopover.
