slightly underwhelming stay

dated furniture missing remote

the staff were friendly enough, i suppose.

The room i got, a 'standard double room', seemed like a time capsule from the 70s. the furniture looked like it had been rescued from a skip and the tv remote was missing. plus, i swear i could hear every footstep from the room above. It sounded like a herd of tap-dancing elephants practicing at 6 am!!!

The location was wonderful. The hotel provided easy access to the beach and nearby shops. The staff were cheerful and helpful, and they always greeted me with a smile! Breakfast was lovely with many choices.

The room I was in faced the side. This gave me a view that was not as good as the front facing rooms. The bathroom shower cubicle was small. It was difficult to move around in. Also the floorboards creaked loudly every time I walked around the room.
