Underwhelming stay. Expected more

rusty shelf single-glazed windows

the location proved convenient. it allowed easy access to local attractions.

the room showed signs of wear and tear. a rusty shelf sat above the bath and noise from the nearby road was constant due to single-glazed windows, i couldn't open them. i found this disruptive and the staff offered little help.

dilapidated windows poor water pressure

The location allowed easy access to the beach and the gardens were beautiful.

The room I received did not resemble the photos online. The windows were old and dilapidated, complete with grubby blinds. The water pressure was poor. It was difficult to shower. I will not be returning to this hotel.
