handy location short walk keyless system shabby room gouge floor shower mould

The location was very handy to attractions. A short walk lead to the beach and it a cute little place. The keyless system made life easier. No more keep keys on us.

The room felt very shabby and not comfortable. The laminate floor had a sizeable gouge in it. Mould was present on the shower, it not pleasant.

surprisingly pleasant!

helpful staff beautiful room

the room was beautiful. i found the staff very helpful over the phone. we booked last minute, as the hotel we had originally booked was substandard. it was my birthday and the person we woke to was wonderful!!!

the room was very small compared to others on the same floor. there were no chairs, so you had nowhere to sit unless you sat on the bed with your feet up. the tv was in a completely wrong place as when sat on the bed you had to watch it through the mirror.

the beautiful double room had a shower. the room was well-decorated and very clean. it included ample tea and coffee, with refill stations available on the landings, and a comfortable bed.

wonderful experience

clean room cozy room perfect location

I loved the room, it was very clean, and cozy! the location was great. Everything in town was within walking distance. someone was on call 24/7 and that felt super safe. i really appreciate the refreshments in the fridge, especially the extra coffee.

the radiators did not work, and there was no hot water, initially, but it came on in the morning. it was a bit inconvenient!

Service

The staff were very attentive and helpful. i could easily reach someone at any time, since there was always someone on call. This adds a great sense of security and assistance throughout my stay.

The hotel offers a selection of refreshments in the room. i really enjoyed the extra coffee. It was a great addition for a quick caffeine fix. this small detail really enhanced my overall experience!
