Seabreeze Beach Hotel

Seabreeze Beach Hotel

8/10 Good
"The room was in excellent condition and the bathroom was very nice too. Only problem was the band playing in the pub downstairs. I was tired. Other than that, excellent all round and happy to stay there again. Sad that it was cheaper to book on line than as a walk in. It would be nice for the business to get all the money, not an os company."
