It's location, just next to the sea is its biggest asset.
Pros:

An improvement in the hotel as this was our second time there. The rooms have been renovated and the digital entry to the hotel n rooms is hassle free.

Cons:

We had to ask for the fan although it was listed in facilities. Still there is room for improvement in renovation like new cupboards or drawers needed.

Find somewhere else, not worth the money.
Pros:

The location was nice

Cons:

There was no parking, even though online it say there is. So we had to find parking which is not free around the area. The room was not clean at all, cob webbs in main room and bath. Marks and dirty in both rooms, dirty towel in one of the draws. One of the manager/owners kids were outside our room in the yard. Really noisy, and one of the kids kicked a football at our window, and then laughed about it. The bed was the hardest thing I have ever tried to sleep on.
