My room was HOT! This. a REALLY bright green light above the door that I couldn't turn off or dim, made it hard to sleep. The plumbing was so noisy. I couldn't sleep in because of other guests using the shower. The TV was also quite small and outdated.

I appreciated the friendly staff. My room had a balcony with views of the sea. I had dinner, and the burger was one of the best I've had. The beer garden had a lot of seating.
I noticed the dog amenities in the room were minimal. There was no water bowl or dog bed.
