inconsistent water temperature seagull view

the wifi was good. at least, it worked, unlike some other things in the room.

the 'beautiful' part of my beautiful double room with sea view was obviously a lie. the view was mostly seagulls and the faint smell of despair wafted up from the street. also, the shower seemed to have a personal vendetta against consistent water temperature.

The location was superb! our beautiful double room sea view included books to read. What a treat!

The check-in times were restrictive. I couldn't access the room when i wanted. noisy floor boards woke me as other residents walked about. It was annoying.

cold room awkward tv

The room felt quite cold even with the radiator turned up. i ended up sitting under the duvet to stay warm. the tv was positioned awkwardly. I had to sit sideways on the bed to watch anything. also, the bathroom lacked heating, so it wasn't very comfortable to use.
