elevated temperature active towel rail
the location provided proximity to the beach. this proximity proved acceptable for my needs.
i encountered elevated temperatures within the bathroom. the towel rail seemingly remained active without means for deactivation. this caused some discomfort .

Acceptable Stay, Some Issues
dirty floor overwhelmed staff
The food was quite delicious and a good highlight of my stay.
I found multiple issues. The room floor was quite dirty upon my arrival. The staff seemed overwhelmed, showing no real attempt to connect with me or provide guidance. They seemed focused solely on payment.
the staff were very friendly and helpful. the hotel is ideally situated for the beach. our room was very nice and neat.
parking was limited and awkward. the bathroom was essentially in a cupboard in the bedroom with a sliding door. all the floors creaked and decor was old fashioned.

Staff was helpful I thought the food was more than acceptable.
The room I was in lacked air conditioning and the temperature felt rather stuffy there was just a fan. I booked through a third party and I had some trouble getting the dog friendly room sorted out upon arrival.
