The people living there were all degenerates, bums, losers etc. If you are a winner don’t go there. Don’t do it to yourself.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
It was as clean and comfortable and all you would expect given the price. Central and easy to walk along the esplanade into the centre - it’s at the quieter end. Staff very helpful and polite. Added bonus of a pool.
