Budget Stay with Bay Views
helpful staff lovely location quiet room
staff helped me with a gluten and dairy free evening meal. they also catered well for my diet at breakfast. the location was lovely with lovely views. my room was quiet during night hours.
the shower mixer was not secure, so moved around a lot. the toilet and shower door was a sliding door, it detached. the wash basin was separate from toilet.

The hotel offers a decent cooked breakfast. the restaurant gave me a view from where i sat. bar prices seemed reasonable. Many locals appear to come here, and that's reassuring.
