excellent seafront stay
good storagehanging spacemodern bathroomnice toiletries
The king room provided good storage for my things! hanging space was also available. the bathroom was modern and spacious. I found the water pressure great. nice toiletries were supplied for guest use. This worked well. the room was beautifully clean!
i think the bed had a very soft mattress topper on it. i presume it covered an old mattress? this made the bed uncomfortable.

The location is great. It sits right across from the beach and the seaside walkway. i walked ten minutes, max, from the pier, and fifteen minutes from the main restaurant area. The ease was amazing.

My room provided a nice and quirky feature. It split across two floors for the bedroom and bathroom? the bed was lovely and comfortable. The pillows also added to a restful sleep. i found everything well-kept.

helpful staffaffordable breakfastreal flowersmissing connection
the staff displayed kindness. a delicious breakfast in bed was affordable, and parking was available. the air conditioning cooled the room fast. the balcony held real flowers, a nice and tender touch.
the bar lacked a bit of charm. it reminded me of any other bar, the connection to local culture was missing. some updates in the style would be helpful.

my room had a balcony with a sea view, it allowed fresh air and a gentle sea breeze. the room included local toiletries with delicate scents, a true pleasure. the bed provided such comfort, and the linen was soft.

the location was ideal. it was easy to access nearby shops and restaurants. the staff were very friendly and cute. i appreciated the beautiful sea views from my room.
The road noise was quite noticeable during the night. the room lacked comfortable seating. single-glazed sash windows contributed to the noise issue. It was a distraction.

The room offered good storage space. It provided ample room for my belongings and hanging space. The bathroom was modern (it seemed recently updated). I liked the breakfast options. There were many choices.
The hotel lacked soundproofing. I was in room 16 and it was very noisy. I could hear sounds from other rooms and the corridor. The interiors seemed dated, with worn carpets.
