A mixed experience, some issues observed.

beach frontthin wallspoor wi-fi

The location was acceptable, being directly on the beach front.

I had some issues with the noise level! The walls are very thin and I could hear everything from the neighboring rooms. The Wi-Fi was also a major disappointment, it barely worked in the room. I had to go to the lobby to get a signal.

Wonderful Stay!

clean bathroomspacious restaurantpleasant stafflarge gap

I needed a clean room for one night, and the bathrooms especially were very clean. The restaurant was spacious. The staff were very pleasant.

The main door to my room had a large gap. This gap let in light. Any noise in the corridor came straight into the room because of it.

the refurbished room was clean, with a decent shower.

The noise level was unacceptable. I could hear everything from the room above, it sounded like constant banging. the breakfast felt overpriced at £12.50, the presentation was poor. also, there wasn't any hand soap in the tiny bathroom (that was pretty annoying).
