Clean tidy room. I didn’t eat there so can’t rate the restaurant at all.
Pros:

On the sea front, room was clean

Cons:

No plug sockets near the bed had to ask for an extension lead which they provided.
Room overlooked the car park at the back and there was a very noisy lorry there from just after 7.30am. I think delivering but sounded like a constant generator going for over half an hour.
