underwhelming stay
lack of maintenance sellotape wallpaper
the location was acceptable, placing me reasonably close to the beach.
The room showed a clear lack of maintenance. There was sellotape holding the wallpaper together. multiple containers were in the room to catch drips, and my room was on the first floor with two more floors above. i managed a few hours of sleep before deciding to leave first thing in the morning.

Central Stay with Excellent Service
central location helpful staff reasonable price
The hotel location is quite central, with the south pier just a short walk away. Staff members were particularly helpful . Breakfast included a decent selection, and the price was reasonable for what was offered. Free parking near the seafront added value.
The building's exterior presentation did not entirely align with the photographs.
