a decent visit

helpful staff fine view soft bed restricted breakfast
eve at the front desk was very helpful. she assisted with bags and restaurant reservations. the sea view was fine (i especially enjoyed it). tea and coffee were available in the room. i liked the option to request different milks.
i found the bed to be quite soft. the bathroom products were supermarket-branded, and hand cream was absent. only one breakfast item was allowed.

missing lift pigeon problem
The staff were friendly and helpful with key pick up (since I arrived late).
The room was at the top, and there was no lift, so it was quite a climb with luggage at midnight. It would have been nice if the hotel had informed me about this beforehand. The pigeon situation outside the window was also bothersome. They were quite noisy at 5 AM. I wouldn't want to be up there in the summer heat.
