Underwhelming Stay. Some Issues Noticed

small room noisy radio
The room was quite small. It felt cramped, even for one person. The digital radio in the room was on even when no one was there. Made the room far from a quiet place.

Charming Seaside Stay

stylish interior helpful staff local recommendation
The hotel's interior design impressed me.. it created a stylish environment in both the rooms and common areas. I particularly appreciated the sitting room. It featured a bar suitable for enjoying a nightcap, also I found the staff very friendly. They shared helpful local recommendations.
My room, though lovely, felt cramped because of the abundant furnishings. This limited movement considerably.

adequate but some issues

faulty wifi no shower cap
the room was nicely decorated with real art on the walls.
The wifi in my room didn't work, so i had to stand in the corridor to get a signal. the heating wasn't on when i arrived. The window was open, not cute. i also found that a waterfall shower was the only option, and no shower caps were provided.
