convenient location helpful staff old building worn bathroom

The location proved convenient. Bars and shops were within walking distance (a major plus). Staff members were helpful with directions and recommendations. The beach was directly accessible from the hotel, a great feature. The swimming pool was clean.

Bathrooms looked worn, with old tiles and fixtures. The effects of time were clearly visible, which detracted from the overall impression. The showers and toilets should be refreshed.

The location was convenient to area attractions. My room included a full-bodied bathtub. Regular housekeeping kept the room clean .

Breakfast service proved somewhat chaotic, especially around the coffee machines. My room seemed a bit dated. I had a view of derelict land from the window.

mixed feelings about this hotel

bathroom hairs loud noise

the location was convenient, close to shops and restaurants.

My room wasn't very clean on arrival. there were some hairs in the bathroom, and the floor looked like it hadn't been properly mopped, a little disappointing. also, i found the noise from nearby bars quite loud at night, so it was hard to sleep well. It went on quite late.
