pleasant staffaggressive tonecustomer service

The room faced the beach. The staff was pleasant.

I left my pillow in the room after checking out. The manager emailed me with an aggressive tone, claiming I replaced their pillow. They charged me £50, saying they could not accept my pillow back because they could not guarantee it was free from allergens.

This place is really tasteful. i loved the attention to detail. The colour scheme felt elegant and the materials seemed high quality. There was also a coffee machine with a fridge. A big TV was also available. The shower was amazing, it felt so luxurious after a day exploring.

The stairs seemed like a trek, especially after a long day. There wasn't a lift. it would be so nice to have one
