The staff was very friendly and helpful. They provided great recommendations for local restaurants. The location was central with easy access to public transportation. I enjoyed the complimentary tea.
The curtains did not fully block the morning light (this woke me up early). The shower enclosure was a bit low. I bumped my head once. My room was on the ground floor, and there was no sea view, disappointing.
