adequate stay, some issues

excessive noise small room
the staff was friendly enough, i will give them that.
The room was far too small. i booked what i thought was a 'large double room'. the noise from the bar below was also excessive. I struggled to sleep until it closed. i really think they need better soundproofing.

small room low ceiling
The location was excellent, right next to the sand dunes and the sea.
I booked a large double room, BUT I got a small room. The ceiling was so low, I couldn't stand up straight anywhere, including the bathroom. It was VERY noisy too, directly above the bar.
