Wonderful stay with attentive staff

friendly staffclean roomconvenient location
The staff were very friendly. They greeted me every morning and helped me with directions. The room was clean and offered a lovely view from the window. The hotel's location was convenient for exploring local attractions.
The small heater in the room did need to be plugged in, as the room was quite cold.

Average Stay with Noticeable Shortcomings

dirty carpetobstructed view
I encountered some issues . The cleanliness was not up to par. I found some stains on the carpet in my room. the promised sea view from my 'Privilege Double Room Sea View' was partially obstructed by a large tree outside the window (a bit disappointing). The breakfast buffet was okay, but the hot items weren't particularly warm.

the location was indeed convenient. i appreciated the friendly and helpful staff, especially at reception. the communal areas also seemed excellent . the beds and pillows were really comfortable.
The carpets had noticeable stains in several places. A dark brown color was quite off putting. the tv was super old. It lacked smart tv and netflix capabilities. there were not many healthy options during breakfast, and one day, their gas wasn't working so there was no hot breakfast
