My room had two large sash windows facing the sea. i enjoyed dinner at the hotel. There was a discount for staying guests. breakfast included a vegan option. Avocado replaced eggs.
The shower did not work well. It provided only a dribble of water. the room was small with few easily accessible power points. wifi was also very poor in the room.
