small lift poor noise insulation
the location was acceptable , close to the beach.
The small lift was a nightmare , especially with elderly guests also needing it. the noise insulation was poor . I could hear my neighbors' tv shows , not ideal for a relaxing stay.

friendly staff good food great location tricky parking vinegar smell no telephone
the staff were friendly and efficient , which i thought was really lovely. the food was good , though the puddings could have been better. the location is great , because it is just a short walk to the beach.
parking was tricky , because i had to double park and block people in. the room had a horrible vinegar smell , so i had to leave the light and extractor on until i fell asleep. i also noticed there was no telephone in the room.
