The location was very close to everything. I had beautiful views from my bedroom, dining, and living room (number six, if I recall correctly).
Ventilation of the neighboring room was a bit loud, and it woke me up earlier than i wanted.

the room was super clean and comfortable. i found lots of tea, coffee, and fruit teas available, and the sea view from my room was lovely. i appreciate the car parking permit that was waiting for me, which allowed me to park easily in the car park across the road.
the bed springs were very noisy every time i moved! the chest of drawers was very hard to open and close, quite inconvenient. i also noticed the paintwork needs some updating throughout the hotel
