clean room water dispenser
The room was spacious and clean. It was a King Room Balcony (I enjoyed the fresh air), and everything I needed was there. Plenty of complimentary tea and coffee were available with a water dispenser, allowing me to fill my drinking bottle.
The hot water pressure in the shower was slightly weak. (But it was manageable.)

uncomfortable bed lacking privacy
the room was of a good size, it has a fridge, acceptable.
i wasn't given the room i had paid for, it was on the old side of the building. the bathroom door wouldn't close so there was no privacy, i had to use an iron to stop the door opening. the bed wasn't comfortable also it felt i have been scammed.

a satisfactory stay

convenient location easy access necessary amenities stained pillowcase dusty area inadequate curtains
the location was really convenient.. it was just a short walk to the beach. communication regarding hotel access was good. the room had everything i needed, including necessary amenities.
one pillowcase had a makeup stain. i also noticed dust and some clothing under the bed from previous guests. unfortunately, the curtains did not fully cover the windows, letting in too much light early in the morning.

modern gym functional workspaces central location
the hotel gym is awesome it has three treadmills. i like the two stationary bikes they got. workspaces were a really great addition too, i could get some work done. the hotel is really close to the beach and the city center, so i never got bored.
the parking situation was stressful and i think it should be better organized.

Excellent Value and Location

pre check-in communication underfloor heating
I found the pre-check-in communication regarding parking to be excellent. The support I received was very good. A fire alarm occurred at 5:30 AM and it was sorted quickly. The room had underfloor heating, I found that great. The fridge was also a great thing to have in a hotel room.
