Great for the price we paid
Pros:

The room we had was really good with two large windows and great sea views and a lovely welcome when we arrived and a great breakfast too

Cons:

Having to close the curtain every time we used the bathroom because window in there could be seen by people walking past outside and rubbish left on corridor and a door hanging off on the stairs and rubbish could be seen behind it
