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.

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.
