convenient location helpful staff comfy bed rusty fixtures underbaked pastry rude server
The location was convenient for exploring the area. The staff helped me with directions and local attractions. My room was a good size and it had a comfy bed.
My room's bathroom had some rust on the fixtures. The breakfast was not great. Pastries were underbaked. The food server behaved unprofessionally. They were rude.

adequate stay with some issues

limited selection car park
the room was clean upon arrival and the bedsheets were fresh.
i was looking forward to trying the breakfast, but the buffet had a very limited selection. the cooked items were barely warm, a disappointment. i felt that parking should be guaranteed if it is advertised as included.

A seaside dream!

charming market festive atmosphere short walk
i found the location good, so close to both the shops and the theatre, with christmas lights adorning the gardens nearby. a short walk through these gardens led to a charming christmas market, and the seafront was only a few minutes away! it created such a festive, romantic atmosphere, perfect for a little getaway.
I noticed the bar closed quite early on a saturday night. It limited our evening plans somewhat. it would have been lovely to linger longer over drinks in such a setting, but we had to find alternative entertainment, a small damper on an otherwise good stay.

great location friendly staff good breakfast dated room rusty bathroom paper cup
The location was indeed great. It was right next to the beach. The staff were also friendly. The breakfast was good, with multiple options.
The room seemed somewhat dated. The bathroom had rust. No cups and spoons were provided. There were only paper cups and wooden stirring sticks.
