terrible noise hot room

the location was pretty good, right by the water.

the noise at night was ABSOLUTE trash. i had drunk people yelling outside my window until 1am. then, at 5am, seagulls started SCREAMING. the room was ALSO so hot. i had the windows open, but it barely helped and the seagulls still got in my ears.

attentive staff super clean room delicious breakfast

i found the staff consistently attentive . my room was super clean and provided ample space. i thought the breakfast was plentiful and delicious each morning.

finding parking proved difficult. the main long-term car park required a ten-minute walk, often full, and payment was only available via an app. this added an unexpected inconvenience to my arrival and subsequent trips.
