decent stay, some issues
small room faulty remote
the room seemed smaller than expected, and the bathroom was quite cramped. i found a few hairs in the shower, which wasn't great. also, the television remote didn't work, AND i had to call the front desk to get it sorted. it took them quite a while to bring a replacement, annoying

Acceptable, But Some Issues Existed
small room open bin
Staff members were nice and offered a friendly breakfast.
The room I stayed in was quite small. The bathroom was tiny, and the open waste bin already contained rubbish, a detail overlooked. there were no suggestions provided for alternative dining options as the restaurant happened to be closed.

lovely stay near the coast
helpful staff comfortable night convenient location
the staff helped me a lot . they allowed me to lock my electric bike in the garage. breakfast was lovely, i had a very comfortable night. the breakfast tasted great. the location was rural and convenient for visiting places.
My room faced the garden directly. i heard drinkers outside the window and it was noisy until evening. i had to keep the blind down. we could hear conversations next door. The soundproofing could improve.
