Nice Weekend Away

7.0

Very close to the pier, right in front plenty of bus stops - the staff was friendly and very nice. The building is nice, even if dated, and well kept. The breakfast was delicious.

They have no aircon, hence sleeping was impossible as it was incredibly hot in the room, cleaning could be better.
