excellent location and super clean room

short walk main street fast wifi daily coffee
The hotel is near the golf course. It was a short walk to the first tee. shops and restaurants on the main street are easily accessible. i found the rooms were a nice size. There was fast wifi. water and coffee were also offered in the room daily.
the room faced a road, so it was busy with cars and people, (it was a bit noisy). i was also near the entrance, it was a self entry so it was quite noisy.

breakfast was not applicable here, though plenty of nearby options exist. this provided flexibility to explore local cafes and restaurants. this arrangement works well for travelers preferring independent dining experiences.

street noise old carpet
The location was really central. It helped me get everywhere easily.
my room faced the street, and i heard noise late at night. it was from people leaving a club, i think, and then the seagulls started early. also, the carpet in the room definitely needed replacing, it looked quite old and worn.
