Room is modern, well equipped (safe, fridge, kettle, usb sockets) and smart. It is quite small - but adequate.
Hotel is situated on sea front with excellent views from sea-facing rooms. We usually find on- street car parking close by. Good range of bars and restaurants close by. Bus to city centre stops close by
