spacious room excellent shower
The room was quite spacious. The private bathroom included an excellent over-bath shower (it was great!).
The street parking was free, however, it required some searching.

inadequate toiletries street noise
the room i occupied required some attention to detail. the television remote lacked functional batteries and the promised toiletries were incomplete , with no shower gel provided. furthermore , the noise from the adjacent street was audible late into the night , preventing undisturbed sleep.

mixed feelings about my stay
noisy pub worn bed
the location was convenient. it was near the town and the beach was easily accessible.
I was quite disappointed with a few aspects. the room was directly above a pub, it advertised closing at 11 pm. on the second night of my stay, a band played until 1 am and it was very noisy. also, the bed felt a bit worn. It was sunken and creaked.

Mixed Feelings About This Stay
outdated room noisy pub
The room felt quite outdated. It lacked a comfortable chair. the noise from the pub below was disruptive on Saturday. I could clearly hear the music. It was hard to relax. The bed also creaked badly with every movement, which didn't help.
