surprisingly good stay
separate lounge useful kettle walk-in shower comfortable bed
I was charmed by the separate lounge. It featured a kettle, microwave, toaster, crockery, and cutlery. a fridge was available too. the large walk-in shower was unexpected and practical after some fiddling to understand its operation. i would have liked a king size bed but the provided bed sufficed for a couple of nights.
on arrival, i noticed the sheet did not appear fresh or properly laundered. this was off-putting. fortunately, it was a short stay.

adequate stay, some minor issues
convenient location fresh towels coffee personal contact digital lock clean bedding
the location was very convenient. i could easily walk to shops and the beach. fresh towels were provided. i also appreciated the coffee and tea.
The lack of personal contact was a bit strange. i only interacted via emails and messages. the method of entry using digital lock codes was also bizarre, i thought. the bedding did not seem very clean. It was off-putting.

Convenient Automated Stay
central location text codes amazing value
The location is good. I had easy access to the town centre shops. The automated entry with text codes worked well. It made check-in and out simple. The room rates provided amazing value.
The room lacked a proper welcome pack. I found it difficult to locate information about alternative parking. This made parking a challenge.
