mixed feelings about the stay

tired decor peeling veneer
i must say, the room i had felt a bit outdated. the decor seemed tired, and there really wasn't any art on the walls, disappointing considering how much i paid. also, the bedside tables were showing wear, with the veneer peeling off. those little things really do impact the overall impression of a place.

immaculate and charming!

sea view helpful staff perfectly cooked food
i always choose this place! its location is unbeatable. the staff impressed me with their constant smiles. the breakfast was AMAZING!!! i really liked the perfectly cooked food, and the right temperature when served.
the absence of an elevator made carrying luggage to the first floor a little difficult. it's a minor issue, and i managed, but an elevator would definitely enhance the experience. this detail is important for many travellers.

helen at the front desk was friendly. i liked the carpark located at the back of the hotel. the breakfast provided a good start to the day.
The parking was limited. This detail was unclear when i booked. the room overlooked the car park, which wasn't ideal. only bottled beer was available at the bar. No evening meals were served.
