a nice stay

helpful staffconvenient locationnoise disturbancemissing mirror
I found the staff helpful. They promptly addressed all my needs. the hotel's location is convenient, as it allowed effortless access to nearby attractions. i appreciated the provision of a parking permit, this alleviated any concerns regarding parking.
the noise from passersby at late hours disturbed my sleep. seagulls added to the disturbance early in the morning! the lack of a full-length mirror was inconvenient for outfit checks.
Rooms

The room was somewhat disappointing. the bed felt smaller than a standard double, affecting sleep quality. the shower was quite cramped. It was hard to breathe comfortably under the showerhead. i also found the room to be rather cold upon arrival.

perfect locationbreakfast choicesmall bedroommissing curtains
The location was spot on for seeing the area. the breakfast was also really nice. It had plenty of choice, including cereals and a full english.
our room was a bit small, and a table and chairs would have been more useful than the chaise lounge, i thought. also, there were no curtains, a bit odd.
