basic stay with some issues

smoke smell unavailable parking

The room smelled strongly of stale smoke and needed airing out. the walls had several marks and scuffs, giving it a tired look. also, the promised parking space was unavailable upon arrival, forcing me to find street parking some distance away. This was a major inconvenience. i also found hairs in the shower which was pretty disgusting.

convenient stay near the promenade

easy check-in short walk

i appreciated the easy self-check-in process using the provided codes, it was really straightforward. the location was a short walk to the tower and the beach. tony was very kind and gave us a discount because we extended our stay.

I missed having a kettle in the room. hot water was available downstairs. it was not very hot.

Convenient and Secure Stay

clear instructions smart tv complimentary drinks

I found the self-check-in process very easy, thanks to clear instructions for the keypad entry to both the front door and my room. The room was neat and included an ensuite bathroom plus a smart tv, offering access to streaming services. There was a coffee room available with complimentary drinks from morning until late. I thought the door keypad system was great as it gave you a feeling of safety.

I found that the walls are very thin, and i could hear everything the person next door was doing. The room is rather basic with a double bed and a set of drawers. A random mirror is over the bed, it is not very useful there. I think the mirror could be better placed for makeup application.

The hotel has a dining area where free drinks are available. This service is offered during specific hours. Guests can benefit from tea and coffee in the communal area, this is a really helpful service.
