Pros:

De kamer op zich was niet verkeerd

Cons:

Er was geen personeel of eigenaar aanwezig de sleutel zat op de deur dus het was zelf bediening ook het ontbijt stond al klaar op de kamer voor de volgende dag. De stad zelf was in verval heel veel leegstand

Lovely staff, lovely stay
Pros:

Exceptionally clean and incredibly friendly staff! Bed was very comfy and plenty of space in room. The provision of a continental breakfast in the room was a lovely touch.

Cons:

The walls could do with either a lick of paint or new wallpaper but other than that no complaints.

Tired hotel which needs updating!!
Pros:

Easy access to the local town and beach. Plenty of parking available on street. Great places to eat. The harbour was only a short walk away and the beach was lovely!

Cons:

The building was tired, needs a good lick of paint etc. our room (No.9) was on the very top, which required a little TLC.. !! The bathroom mirror was hanging off, light bulbs missing/ light fixtures hanging off, wall paper peeling off & a hole in the floor covered by carpet….. The continental breakfast was very basic!!

Very basic for cost glad only had one night booked.
Pros:

Clean , central to town. Light breakfast was adequate and as described.

Cons:

On approaching the hotel it looked shut down . Inside very tired decor. Room very small. Bedside light not working . Bed very uncomfortable. No where to eat breakfast , it was left in the room . Met by staff at door smoking a cigarette who quickly gabbled through instructions.

Worst accomodation ever.
Pros:

Most disappointing place I've ever stayed

Cons:

Was supposed to be 3 star hotel with bed and breakfast. When we arrived a lady told us it was Continental breakfast and it was in the room. The room smelled bad and cushions and chairs smelled and were visibly dirty. Very much false advertising.
