Acceptable Stay With Noticeable Shortcomings
air conditioning chimney substantial noise
The room allocated had a significant drawback. Air conditioning equipment was situated directly outside the window. This resulted in substantial noise disturbances each morning. The noise began at 6:00 AM and continued until 8:00 PM. It was impossible to open the windows because of this issue.

Excellent stay with a view
sea front upper floors bus stop
The location was wonderful, right on the sea front. I appreciated the lift to the upper floors. The lounge and dining room overlook the sea. The bus stop right next to the hotel helped me to access other parts of the island easily.
The ventilation in the room wasn't ideal.
