I had a superior quadruple room. it was large with plenty of cupboard space. the bed was comfy, even though the room was described as a partial sea view. There was a really good view. value for money was excellent, i thought.
The condition of the room was shabby. two radiators did not work properly. the shower was lukewarm at best. I was advised that the handheld shower was not operational.
