the room had thin curtains. bright light came in from outside. i noticed a stained carpet in the room.

The inn features a restaurant focused on sizzling steaks. They cook at the table. the menu has a variety for everyone and a great carvery is available. i found the value to be quite good.
Location
9/10
the hotel is less than two miles from the seafront, quite convenient. there is easy access to different places. two supermarkets are in close proximity to the hotel.
The room was quite clean. The shower was good. There was a plentiful supply of tea and coffee. I also appreciated the soft towels.
The noise from the street was noticeable (I had to keep the window open because of the weather). It felt more like a poorly decorated bedroom than a hotel room. The furnishings seemed old fashioned.
