My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were spacious and clean with lovely views, but the small bathroom and difficulty in controlling the shower temperature were a downside. The location was great, close to town, the seafront, and restaurants, but the room felt hot and stuffy even after turning off the radiator.
