the room was clean and quite spacious. the family who ran the hotel seemed very friendly and accommodating. they really created a relaxed atmosphere. breakfast was included, which i found very convenient.

the bar was closed because of a recent flood. also, the description mentioned parking, but spaces were limited and not always available close by. i had to walk a bit after parking the car.

Wonderful Stay! Definitely Coming Back!!!

central location stocked fridge good breakfast

I spent three nights here. The location is AMAZING!!! It is a short distance to the south pier, pleasure beach and the water park. I appreciated the mini fridge stocked with coffee and tea in my room. The hotel also has a good bar. I found the included breakfast quite good too.

I noticed that the light in the bathroom did not work. the lamps did a great job. I was told there had been a leak in the bedroom and the trip switch must have gone.

Staff responded to a concern about a leak in my room. They communicated clearly about the issue and planned to address it promptly with an electrician after my departure. This proactive approach to maintenance impressed me.

faulty light continental breakfast

the staff offered support with parking and the hotel's proximity to the pleasure beach was convenient.

The light in the room and bathroom didn't work properly (a major inconvenience). i was told there had been a leak, and an electrician would come later. also, the breakfast was continental. I wish that had been stated clearly when i booked.
