Weekend away in hell
Pros:

The bed was somewhat passable for comfortable if you weren't too busy being roasted in your own room with no ventilation system as the windows shut with nothing to hold them! Only thing convinent was how everything was local and beach just up front.

Cons:

Where do I start!!!! From the millionth stairway to hell, to cupboard shoebox size private bathroom to the overall cleanliness of the room. What began with the worst check in ever, mind you I thought it was a scam when the guy was meant to gove our confirmation number in to us upon 4pm check in arrival. No staff nothing, cant get ahold of anyon3 remotely human. What I did I had to call booking.com themselves, and a lovely lady was kind enough to tell me if the owner does not reply back she can refund and change us elsewhere free of charge. After an hour later waiting around the owner replies back with the most half hearted reply like no remorse in being this late. Now the bathroom is the size of a shoebox with no vents barely working, the tiling was covered in some black paint almost peeling off so when youre going in there wear shoes!!!! And we wore sliders into the shower because that thing has seen better days. Absolutely terrifying stay.

Never again
Pros:

Nothing went well. I was unable to access my room. Thankfully a friend put me up in his house in the end otherwise I would have nowhere to stay that night.

Cons:

The process of getting a code to access the hotel and room. No human assistance. I was told by someone already staying there that it took him an hour to check in and the text communication was with an AI bot.

I take most of the responsibility because when I booked a room on booking.com, I assumed the hotel would be much the same as all the other hotels I have booked on the site, where you turn up at the hotel, you find a human there who hands you a key to a room. So I didn't pay much attention to an email from booking.com just after I booked the room. I also got a whatsapp message from the Hotel about checking in. Again I assumed it was just the usual routine message you get when you book a hotel from booking.com. I had never heard of online check in before. There is a lesson learnt there. Read all the communication you get and don't assume it will all be routine.

However, I don't like the idea of having to upload a photo of my driving licence or passport to an entity that can't even provide a human to speak to. Could be anyone ending up with that personal stuff. I don't have to show my driving licence or passport normally when I turn up at a hotel, unless it is abroad. I was very disappointed in the end with the whole experience. I was at the door of the hotel three times that day but couldn't get to speak to a human working at the hotel to sort out the problem. Text exchanges weren't that helpful either and as I said, someone said it was an AI bot texting.

So I didnt get to stay at the hotel and wasted my money. It spoilt much of my day. We live and learn.

Some may like this online check in process but it's not for me, so I will not use this hotel again nor any similar hotel with this kind of process.
