Pros:

Fantastic location, comfortable room, lovely spa bath in the room.

Cons:

We had some minor trouble adjusting the temperature of the shower, it was very abrupt from lukewarm to very hot. Also, the shower was quite slow to drain, so you end up standing in a couple of inches of water.
They're not major issues, more just things to be aware of.

Great location, but has problems.
Pros:

The location is good, with the beach within walking distance. There was ample parking. The staff are friendly and helpful. I was given an early check in without any problem.

Cons:

The beds were too soft. With a bad back, I almost couldn't get up on the second day, and I had to sleep on the carpet for three of the four nights.
The shower mixer didn't work. Normally one can choose the pressure and temperature. The shower had only a choice of temperature. The choice was scalding or freezing. The staff finally helped me to figure it out (sort of). With the setting at extreme cold, I got hot(ish) water.
The biggest problem was that the toilet was not properly scrubbed. This is really unacceptable.

Pros:

Got an upgrade so room was large. Very comfortable stay on the whole

Cons:

The refrigerator emitted strange loud sounds, but it worked fine. One armchair had been sat in by a very heavy person and hence was difficult to extract yourself from after sitting down.But there were other chairs to choose
