convenient stay

pier view convenient elevator private bathroom
i appreciated the location near the pier and many bus stops. an elevator was available, helpful for transporting luggage. having a bathroom in the room added convenience to my stay.
the windows did not lock properly, so drafts were present, leading to rattling and a colder room (electric heater was provided).

the room was ample and quite simple. breakfast was okay. the private bathroom offered a toilet, a sink and a shower with complimentary soap and towels (the provision of these items was a plus).

helpful staff warm welcome very nice location unsoundproof windows street noise chilly window
the staff were helpful. i got a warm welcome. the location is very nice , especially as i was going to a gig at chalk. chalk is literally behind the hotel.
the windows were not sound proof. i could hear all the noise from the street. i could not fall asleep for hours. the window also did not isolate properly , so it was a bit chilly.
