Acceptable stay, but some issues persist
milk absence squeaky sounds
The location is advantageous. It provides closeness to the beach.
The room did not contain a fridge. This was inconvenient. The absence of milk in the room was also notable. I was given a flask of milk upon request. One could hear sounds. This was not ideal.

Seaview Delight
seaview room central location free coffee
My recent visit included a Double Room Sea View, I was charmed. The location was super, I found I could easily walk to many shops. I appreciate the complimentary tea and coffee in my room, it really helped me feel at home. The morning view from the room was amazing, what a great experience!
I found the bar closed rather early on some nights, that limited my options for a late drink.
