Pros:

Location

Cons:

There were cockcroaches on the carpet in the room and spider in the bathtub. We were scared to sleep on the bed in case there was bed bugs in the mattress. So instead we slept on top of the blankets and were cold in the middle of the night. Hardly slept that night. The breakfast was very disappointing.

Close to the sea, value for money.
Pros:

Close proximity to the Pier. Very good value for money. Breakfast included, menu limited but a nice cup of coffee in the morning it’s a bonus. Room comfortable, easy access, everything you need for budget friendly stay by the sea.

Please stay away.
Pros:

That we only stayed one night.

Cons:

The toilet seat was loose. We had to go around the room with antiseptic wipes. I did pay for breakfast, but didn't even attend the breakfast. We didn't trust the the hygiene. I also moved the tv and part of the ceiling came off??? It stunk in the room when we first arrived too. We only stayed for one night. That was more than enough. This is an honest review. Absolutely the worst place I've stayed in. No exaggerating. Please stay away.
