the room featured ample space and cleanliness. the bathroom had good size and provided many toiletries. the location offered a short, two-minute walk to the beachfront.
sadly, there was no lift in the building, so carrying bags up the stairs was necessary.

Mixed Feelings About This Stay

The room seemed clean, and had what I needed.
The place had ventilation problems. It smelled like sewage in the bathroom. That really bothered me. Probably due to some ventilation issue.

decent stay with minor issues

good breakfast convenient location non-ensuite bathroom unlined curtains
the breakfast was good, it was very close to the beach. the town centre and golf courses was only five minutes away. that was so convenient and i was so pleased about it.
my bathroom wasn't ensuite. i had to go into the corridor and use a key to open it and i didn't like it at all. the curtains weren't lined so the room was bright all night which kept me awake.
