They broke the commitment and booking.com should take all the responsibility
Pros:

They didn't provide what I have booked. So nothing to like about

Cons:

Commitment is everything in the travel industry and they broke it. So from the very beginning they have disappointed me.

Cons:

Road work was pretty noisy until 1-2am ..... Can understand that has nothing to do with the hotel but that was the only issue we had as we couldn't sleep because of construction noises

Lovely and comfortable short stay.
Pros:

The view and balcony was beautiful. The Tv’s near the beds were good too, and the ability to make tea for free was nice too. The beds were comfortable.

Cons:

The shower glass door was not secured very well, and any time a shower was taken the water would end up getting all of the floor and make it all wet.

Pros:

The location was excellent, close to the beach and all the amenities. We really enjoyed our stay at Novotel.

Enjoyable stay
Pros:

The bed was large and comfortable, room was a good size.

Cons:

Very noisy at night, we had trouble sleeping because of the noise from the bar down in the square below. Shower wasn't very good, it sprayed all over the bathroom with only 3 nozzles working. Parking facilities were unclear
