a mixed experience at this hotel

defective door terrible coffee machine

I was not entirely pleased with my stay. the balcony door in my sea view room was faulty and i could not close it properly. the weekend was windy, so the room was cold and noisy. additionally, the coffee machine at breakfast was terrible. I couldn't get a decent cup.

My room included coffee and tea making facilities. A fridge was also available. I had a nice view from the balcony I booked.

I found that the towels were small. The scrambled egg offered was the only egg option available. The coffee was undrinkable.
