Beautiful room with a beautiful view

Hotel is great. Room is big and spacious with a beautiful sea view. Everything is great for the price, only negative is the size of the shower cubicle, it’s quite small and a struggle if you’re on the bigger side. But I would definitely stay again.

As it was March, there wasn't any problem finding parking. However, as the year goes on, this will be harder to find and might end up paying for parking. This is the same for all of these small hotels. Bedroom floor boards and doors were very noisy. Room was good, nothing special but not poor either. Plenty of local shops and so close to the beach and Claremont Pier.
