friendly staffbig roomclean sheetsgreat wifi
The staff were super friendly right from the start! the room was big. it had clean sheets and towels. That's always a win in my book. the location? smack dab in the middle of town, easy peasy to get everywhere. plus, the wifi worked great. Made planning my adventures super easy.
I have to say the walls were a little thin. I heard some noise from other guests, but honestly, it wasn't a huge deal.

the location was central, placing me near everything i needed. the staff were available and ready to assist. i appreciated the presence of a pool table, it provided some entertainment. the pub downstairs had a friendly atmosphere.
The lack of an ensuite wc or shower was inconvenient. the room decor seemed quite old and worn. the single-glazed windows did not close properly, leading to significant noise issues from seagulls and street activity, affecting my sleep.

The location is great. The price I paid was fantastic. The room was basic but had everything I needed. The beds were really comfy.
There was only one plug socket in the room. I found it hard to charge my phone from the bedside. The kettle wasn't very clean. It had too much limescale in it.
