The room had gorgeous sea views. The bathroom was big. Plenty of tea, coffee, and hot chocolate with a selection of biscuits were provided. A box of chocolates was a lovely touch.
the location proved convenient it was close to the trail i wanted to explore. the sunrise view in the morning was also a highlight providing a pleasant start to the day
i did notice a lack of soundproofing in the room which was somewhat disruptive. the breakfast hours were also restrictive making it difficult to enjoy a leisurely meal before a long day

The room was cosy (I liked the decor). Free parking was available across from the hotel. This reduced hassle.
I found out, a bit late, that breakfast times were restricted. This did not allow me to eat before a long day of travel. I would have preferred more flexible hours.
