slow shower absent hand towels
The shower was quite slow. It was hard to find a temperature that was both hot and had good water pressure. hand towels were also absent from the bathroom. i wish there was a small table. Eating meals required some creativity since there was no designated dining space.

some issues i noticed

excessive fee extra parking fee
the location was close to the pleasure beach, helpful.
i didn't like that the parking cost extra. paying £10 per day felt excessive, especially since parking in the area wasn't cheap anyway. it reminded me of another fee added on.
