Good
Pros:

Overall experience was great

Cons:

I prefer not to be on the "ground" floor and bath shower combination was a bit strange, loose looking tiles and the bath felt uneven.

Sauber und passabel mit wenig Charme
Pros:

Es ist ein sauberes Hotel, das hauptsächlich von Reisebussen als Zwischenstopp genutzt wird. Die regulären Zimmer sind sehr klein mit Blick auf die Haustechnik oder den Parkplatz. Nachdem wir uns beschwert hatten haben wir ein upgrade bekommen.

Cons:

Dementsprechend fehlt der Charme. Es ist aus meiner Sicht zu teuer. Der Pool fehlt und obwohl es Bayview Hotel heisst gibt es keinen Blick aufs Meer

Very comfortable hotel on the high street, within walking distance of the beach, and some lovely hotels and shops. We had a lovely night stay - the staff was exceptional, and the room was well outfitted. The breakfast at the attached restaurant was also lovely
