Solid Stay for a Reasonable Price

central locationgood valuecute staffcomfy bed
The location was central! It sat midway between the south and central piers. The value for money was good. Great value takeaways are around the corner. The staff were cute and made efforts to help me. The room was clean. The bed was comfy.
The hotel requires some paint and overall could use a spruce up.
