Acceptable stay, some issues noted

poor soundproofing limited breakfast

The sea view from my Double Room Sea View was nice. It was what I expected.

The lack of soundproofing was a problem, as I could hear everything from other rooms. The curtains also did not block out enough light, so the room was bright very early. Breakfast had limited options. There was no cheese or cold cuts.

low water pressure thin walls

my stay wasn't exactly smooth sailing the shower barely dribbled water it was a known plumbing issue apparently. thin walls meant i was intimately acquainted with my neighbors conversations not ideal when you're trying to relax. the room could use a refresh mismatched screws everywhere spoke volumes about the maintenance budget

low pressure shower

The staff were friendly and provided good service I had dinner one evening and breakfast was cooked fresh.

My shower had almost no pressure and reception told me they already knew about the problem I should not have been placed in that room at all. The hotel clearly needed a refresh.
