adequate stay with some drawbacks

uncomfortable mattress difficult check-in

the fridge in the room was a good addition.

The mattress was uncomfortable. I had to sleep on top of the duvet for extra padding. check-in was difficult, as there was no one available when i arrived. i waited outside for an hour before getting the keys.

Excellent location with practical amenities

fridge bonus quiet room

the room had a fridge, this was a bonus. tea and coffee facilities were available, including biscuits and bottled water, which i consider a nice touch (a small detail makes a difference!). the room overlooked the street, but it was still quiet, which i appreciated.

i noticed a water leak from the ceiling when it rained. this kept me awake for a large part of the night, frustrating.

Location

the hotel is located on the seafront, it provides easy access to nearby attractions. it is only a short walk to both the train station and the town centre, so you can easily get around without a car. the sunsets are visible just five minutes away.

Satisfactory Stay

convenient location complimentary water tea facility dim light limited space grimy curtain

The location was convenient. It was close to the beach and shops. A small fridge was available in the room with complimentary water. Tea and coffee making facilities were also provided.

The light in the room was quite dim. The energy-saving bulb did save energy. it was not bright enough. There was not enough space for toiletries near the sink. The shower curtain had some grime near the bottom.
