Lovely Seaside Stay
excellent locationthorough cleaninglimited channel
The location was excellent. It made exploring very easy. Nearby restaurants offered diverse dining options. I found my room spacious. The daily cleaning service was thorough.
Unfortunately, the tv had limited channels, which affected evenings in the room. The wi-fi connection was also quite slow.

Adequate stay with some issues
dated roomlimited breakfast
The room was dated. Photos online presented a different impression. Breakfast catered mainly to English preferences, offering few alternatives. The breakfast room was located in the basement. It lacked any atmosphere.

slightly underwhelming stay
decent varietydated furniturenoisy air conditioning
the breakfast was acceptable, with a decent variety of options (nothing too exciting, though).
My room was supposedly a 'standard double', but it felt far from standard. the furniture looked dated, and the overall decor seemed stuck in the '80s. the air conditioning unit was noisy. I'm pretty sure i could hear my neighbor's ac, too.
