peaceful big small lovely central comfortable beautiful cold cheap expensive clean friendly warm noisy

Grand Hotel The Grand Hotel is a beautiful hotel in the centre of the town. It is a big hotel with 120 rooms. The rooms are all very clean, comfortable and warm but they are quite noisy because the hotel is on a main road. I found the hotel staff polite but not very friendly. This is not the hotel for a cheap holiday. The rooms are quite expensive at around £100 per person per night for bed and breakfast.

Sea View Hotel The Sea View Hotel is a 30-room hotel about three kilometers from the centre of town. The building is not very beautiful but the rooms have lovely views of the sea and the hotel is nice and peaceful. The rooms are not always very clean and sometimes they are a bit cold at night. But the hotel staff is always very friendly and the hotel is very cheap. It only costs £ 30 per person per night for bed and breakfast.
