The room was not good. furniture looked old and repainted, rather than replaced. the bathroom was like a time capsule from the 90s. It really needed an update.

The location proved excellent. The staff were cute.
I found the hotel looking rather tired. My room needed modernisation. Drawers were old, white cupboards required replacement, and the bathroom was notably compact. A larger person might have struggled. The shower, old with a fixed head, sprayed water everywhere.

Our double room sea view had a amazing view. the hotel provided a lovely tea tray with biscuits and coffee, replenished each morning (a sweet little touch!). i also found the staff attentive. They really went out of their way to.
the room was rather dusty. the housekeeping service was inconsistent, and sometimes towels were re-hung instead of replaced, a bit of a letdown.
