“Highly recommended and have a meal as they serve throughout the day.”
We had 2 double beds and they were comfortable. There were no strong smells or fragrances. We were on the ground floor and parked near our room. The meals at the hotel were lovely and a lot of locals stopped for a catchup and outside is pet friendly. Very nicely priced and yummy. You could have a walk along the pier or beach in front. You could get a lovely view if you had a room higher up, but you have stairs to tackle.
