underwhelming visit

lack of lift restricted space

the location was okay, near the seafront.

our room was on the top floor so there wasnt any lift access, it was a struggle with luggage. the room itself felt pretty small with restricted space in the en-suite. this.

small window no lift

The location is good.

The room was small and on the top floor. There was no lift. The sea view was limited due to a small window. It was not worth the extra cost.
