a stay with minor issues

beach location breakfast offering communal lounge soft bed small bathroom coffee sachets
the hotel stood right next to beach, i found it quite convenient. the breakfast offering was good. the communal lounge rooms provided additional spaces to relax and enjoy drinks, i did like those.
the bed was too soft, i did not sleep very well. the bathroom felt small, also dated. there was only a couple of complimentary coffee sachets in the room, i had to ask for more.

the staff were friendly and helpful. i stayed in a twin room, and it offered a wonderful sea view. the room was large and airy, with two arm chairs facing the bay window..
the shower leaked onto the floor, likely because the shower curtain was a bit short.

easy parking lovely seaview helpful lift poor water pressure unusable shower non-functional wifi
the location was amazing for the tennis event. parking was super easy when i got there late. the seaview was totally lovely, and walking to the beach was easy! i was so glad there was a lift since many older places don't have one. that means i can actually come back with my mum. yay!
The water pressure in the shower was not good at all. The flow just stopped sometimes. my mum's shower was way too hot, and she couldn't change the temperature, so she couldn't use it. also, the wifi in our rooms on the third floor did not work at all. this was really disappointing.
