Average Stay with Issues

loud neighbours inconsistent water pressure

I found several aspects less than satisfactory. The neighbors were quite loud, hosting a party in the garden late into the night (both nights). This definitely impacted sleep quality. the shower's water pressure was inconsistent. It fluctuated wildly during use, pretty annoying.

Acceptable stay

good breakfast free parking good location noisy neighbors high television no running water

The hotel location is near the beach. It was a short walk. The cooked breakfast was good. Free parking was available onsite.

The neighbours at the back were noisy. They had a party in the garden both nights. One room did not have running water. The television was very high.
