basic amenities, some issues

missing ironfluctuating shower

My stay had some downsides. the tea and coffee facilities were not in the room itself. They were in the narrow hallway. an ironing board was there, but no iron to use with it... also, the shower temperature fluctuated unexpectedly, a bit unsettling.

the free coffee and tea downstairs were a nice touch.

Our room wasn't very clean. i noticed food under the beds. a cigarette butt behind the toilet. It reminded me of the room hadn't been thoroughly cleaned recently.

the room was close to the sea front, acceptable.

The hotel was unmanned. People came in and out at all hours. there was shouting and arguing until early morning. i also saw people smoking weed outside the main door all day and night, so my children were disturbed.
