The hotel advertises a very modern lovely room, but instead, the rooms are very dated and old. They were clean and comfortable but in need of serious refurbishment unless you like 70's decor. The rooms were very basic with old tired furnishings that ideally need updating.

My stay at the hotel was overall satisfactory. The room, although needing some updates with old furniture, was decently sized on the top floor. The price I paid was fair for what I got, but perhaps a ground floor room would have been more convenient.

The room was of okay size with an average toilet and shower. Some furniture was old and could use refreshing.
Service

The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, especially considering our late booking and arrival. I appreciated their welcoming attitude and the unexpected cooked breakfast provided.
Location
6.0
The location was the highlight of my stay, perfect for an early morning seaside experience. However, some areas of the hotel felt tired, and there were cleanliness issues with previous guests' leftovers in the shower.
Dining
7.0
The dining experience had its ups and downs. Although there was a good variety of food and a self-service cooked breakfast, some items were tasteless, and the breakfast hours ended quite early for my liking.

The hotel had basic facilities that served their purpose adequately. Nothing extraordinary but satisfactory for a short stay.
