The property seems geared toward those seeking basic accommodation and a welcoming, pet-friendly atmosphere; families or couples looking for a functional base near the beach might find its compact, personalized service appealing.

the location was quite convenient. it was a short walk to the beach and the gardens.. i also appreciated the parking that was available out front, first come, first served. the staff member i encountered upon arrival was friendly.
my room was small and quite cold. there was also no way to adjust the heating to make it warmer. opening my suitcase proved difficult because of the limited space. the deposit seemed unnecessary considering the building's aged condition.

I appreciated the parking. It made arrival simple and straightforward. The staff was friendly and very helpful with any questions I had. The coffee machine in the room ensured I could get my caffeine fix first thing in the morning... it was convenient!

The staff were AMAZING!!! I received a warm welcome upon arrival. I was also provided with complimentary parking. The staff member was helpful, giving clear directions into town.
The room's furniture looked somewhat worn. It was still functional, though.

The hotel enjoys a very central location. I could easily reach many points of interest on foot. The hotel is right beside the gardens and the seafront, great for those wanting to explore. Several pubs nearby provide options for local refreshment if venturing far is not desired.

The location was just a short walk from the beach and main shopping area. Free parking was available.
The upstairs hallway lights didn't work (i had to use my phone's flashlight). The room was VERY stuffy, and the fan they provided didn't work either. The kettle was disgusting. It contained what looked like noodles and other food remnants.
