The hotel location provides great views and easy beach access. The staff was friendly and helpful . i appreciated the smooth check-in and the responsiveness to my requests. the breakfast service was outside. I watched the boats come and go in the harbour. i enjoyed private parking. It's important in a busy coastal area.
I noticed some general wear and tear in the hotel. It seems a bit tired.

moldy orange juicebuffet hygiene
The hotel seemed a bit run-down. Breakfast disappointed me. The orange juice tasted strange, almost moldy, off-putting! the staff member at the buffet wasn't wearing a uniform and didn't have her hair tied back, so it felt a bit unhygienic. I expected better standards.
