Solid Stay Near the Sea
seafront locationstocked breakfastsea view
The hotel's proximity to the seafront was a real advantage. Everything was easily accessible. I found the parking arrangements convenient. Breakfast was included and provided good variety and quality. The staff kept everything well stocked. The sea view from communal seating near the pool and sauna added a lot.
The gym had a slightly musty odor, and some of the equipment showed signs of wear.

Breakfast offered a wide selection of hot and cold items and was well stocked throughout the service. The breakfast area was generally clean and organized, with staff actively clearing tables. Coffee machines were modern and easy to use.
Rooms

My standard double room included a king-sized bed and ample storage space. The room included tea and coffee making facilities, restocked daily! A spacious desk area allowed for comfortable workspace, and the climate control was effective. I found the blackout curtains helpful for a restful sleep.
Service

Staff at the reception were consistently helpful and responsive to requests. Concierge services were available to assist with local information and transportation options. Check-in was efficient.

the location was alright. i could walk to places i needed to go.
My room's carpet looked suspiciously dirty, likely hiding secrets best left undisturbed. the shower pressure was so weak, it seemed like standing under a sad, lukewarm drizzle. also, the breakfast setup lacked marmalade. How am i supposed to enjoy my toast without it?
