great locationcomfy bedfriendly ownersparse breakfastdirty areacleaning attention

the location of the hotel was great, very close to the south pier. the owner was a friendly person. he asked me where i was from and told me he has a friend that live there. the bed was comfy and it had fluffy pillows.

the breakfast was not great. the english breakfast did seem quite sparse. i thought the breakfast area needed a cleaning. it needed more attention each morning.
