The location of this hotel was amazing. 2 min walk to the beach and ample free parking in a public car park 500m away. Good sized room for 2 adults and a child. Indoor pool free to use and very clean. Helpful staff at check in although breakfast a little expensive. Thank you for a lovely stay.

Voici un hôtel où il fait bon être hébergé, même si j'y ai ressenti comme un sentiment de désuétude en marche à certains égards, notamment pour ce qui relève de l'"espace bien-être". Je pense qu'une porte fermée, peut-être de type "saloon", entre la salle de restauration matinale et celle de préparation, permettrait encore un meilleur confort aux personnes qui profitent au demeurant d'un excellent petit déjeuner. Merci au personnel pour la qualité de son accueil et pour sa capacité à "vendre" l'hôtel et la ville dans laquelle il se trouve.
