A good and convenient stay!

comfortable bedsconvenient locationsoft pillows
The triple room I booked included three comfortable single beds, each with two soft pillows. The hotel's location was AMAZING. A short five-minute walk led directly to the pier. The town center was also accessible via a pleasant 10-15 minute walk down the seafront.
The wifi signal was weak in my room. I had to stand near the door to get better reception.

The room was comfortable and provided good value for the price. I liked the lady at reception, she was accommodating.
The room didn't feel very secure because the door had no latch. There was also no staff on-site from 9 PM to 8 AM. The shower was small. It felt quite uncomfortable.
