underwhelming details marred the stay

good locationstrange decorslow breakfast service

the location was good for exploring the area.

The room décor felt a bit odd. Three shopping baskets hung on the wall (a strange design choice) and a dome security camera sat in the middle of the room. a view over a flat roof showed building materials left from a past refurbishment. breakfast service was very slow one morning, and the full english arrived with dry bacon.

we stayed two nights and found the staff friendly. our room, the signature view double, had lovely harbour views from a floor to ceiling window. the room featured a wide selection of teas, coffee, and snacks.. the well-stocked mini bar was convenient.

i noticed three shopping baskets hanging on the wall for decoration, along with a dome security camera. i am unsure about the interior design.

The location next to the harbor was lovely. The staff members were friendly and helpful. I found fresh milk in the fridge. The large bottle of water was a nice touch.

My room was a bit small. It had all the usual facilities. I found it difficult to move around without my partner having to move. Parts of the room seemed to be missed during cleaning, specifically in the shower room.
