“The location directly on the seafront is a definite highlight, particularly with those spectacular sunset views. Service is a strong suit here, with staff consistently noted for their friendliness and attentiveness, and the rooms, including those in the newer annex, are kept to a commendable standard of cleanliness and comfort. While parking is readily available, the absence of in-room Wi-Fi is a minor point to consider.”
