the location was convenient to access the sea front.
my room felt very small. the wash basin was inside the room, not in the bathroom and that felt strange. the mattress on the bed really wasn't comfortable it seems very old.

dated hotel dirty toilet seat
Location was good and close to other hotels and the town centre.
The hotel was very dated and I feel the price did not reflect this fact. I have stayed in better places for less money. Water was left in the kettle upon arrival and the toilet was also dirty under the toilet seat.
