Its location, a mere five-minute stroll from East Cliff's sandy expanses, positions it well for beach visits. I appreciate the lounge's ambition to offer crafted cocktails, while the courtyard promises a quiet retreat.”

Unexpectedly Charmed by This Stay!
quality beddingcoffee machinedusty fan
The bedroom had a comfy, large bed with quality bedding,. Bottled water was provided. there was a good coffee machine in the room for early mornings. I also found plenty of parking available, both at the front and rear of the building.
My air conditioning didn't work, disappointing. I only had a small, dusty fan.

the room decor was pleasant. i enjoyed the quality ingredients used for the breakfast buffet. the sausages, bacon, and bread tasted superb. the eggs had a lovely yolk color, a testament to good sourcing.
I noticed the evening menu had limited options. A daily change or more choices for main courses would improve it.

The room was clean. The bed was comfortable. The location is a short walk from the pier. Public rooms are lovely.
The receptionist did not give us directions to the room. She didn't seem sure about her role. I messaged about a quieter room because of a function, but I never received a response.
