The tv remote in my standard queen room didn't work. i tried new batteries, but it was still unresponsive. This was annoying. also, the breakfast buffet had limited vegetarian options. I found very little choice beyond fruit and cereal.

satisfactory visit

clean room comfortable room bathroom water sloping floor
The room was very clean and quite comfortable. the view was lovely overlooking the seafront. It had mirrors and sockets in the right position.
the bathroom water took a long time to heat up. the bed was on a slant because of a sloping floor, so i had to sleep sideways across the bed.
