I found the location to be very convenient. i also appreciated the nice decor. It was quite lovely. the bed provided a good night's sleep, which i am grateful for.
the parking scratch cards were unavailable, which caused some concern. the room felt quite cold upon arrival. the soft pillows did not provide the support i needed.

a decent stay overall

central locationkeyless entrysmall bathroompoor soundproofing
The hotel's nearness to attractions proved very convenient. the location allowed a short walk to the beach. the keyless system worked well. It was nice not having to carry keys.
the bathroom was really small. there was plenty of space in the room though, so it could have been larger. the rooms lack soundproofing and carpets, noisy. i could hear people coming in at all hours and walking on the hard floors.

i really enjoyed the super friendly staff! i had forgot access codes but the lady answered super friendly and efficient even at that time of night. a nice touch was the heart sweets since it was valentine's weekend! i will definitely book again.
the hotel's strengths are its location. it's close to the beach, town centre, and fine views of the abbey and whalebone arch. breakfast was expensive so i didn't book that.
