average stay, some issues

small room constant noise breakfast arrangements
I was quite disappointed by the room i received. It felt very small. the window faced a car park, and the constant noise from some sort of extractor fan was quite disruptive. also, i wasn't properly informed about breakfast arrangements. I found out how it worked only later.

snobby attitude poor view
The breakfast was excellent. The staff was attentive.
I booked a beautiful double room hoping for very nice sea views. Instead, I got room #1 on the ground floor, next to the entrance. I could only see parked cars and people outside. The receptionist dismissed my complaint with a snobby attitude.
