Acceptable Stay, Some Issues

small room tired hotel

The breakfast was good.

Our room was small. We had trouble opening our suitcases together. A fridge would have been helpful. The hotel interior seemed tired.

sun loungers relaxation warm room cosy room tea facilities coffee facilities toast order lumpy pillows music choice

My room included two sun loungers on the patio. They were great for relaxation. The room was warm and cosy. The temperature was perfect. Tea and coffee facilities were provided, which I greatly appreciated.

My toast was required to be ordered earlier than the hot food. This was inconvenient. The pillows felt lumpy. I had some trouble getting comfortable. The music was 70s and 80s every breakfast and dinner time. The music choice wasn't for me.
