Impeccably clean hotel near seafront.
Pros:

Well located hotel with impeccably clean bedrooms … we were very pleasantly surprised. Easy car parking in local streets. Bed was very comfortable and bathroom modern and as clean as you could want.

Cons:

Lack of breakfast may deter some guests but didn’t affect us as we easily found breakfast nearby.
