charming stay by the sea

central location comfortable beds
the location provided central access near the beach i found the breakfast plentiful with excellent service our room was clean and serviced each day the staff were very cute. the room was spacious and the seaview i had was a plus the beds were very comfortable. the rooms are modern.
the carpet in our room was wet and the window did not close i had to move rooms which turned out to be noisy i didn't get much sleep due to people in the corridor and loud music. parking was also expensive at the hotel.
