Pros:

The location was perfect. The hotel was clean.

Cons:

No Aircon. The room was very hot so we left the windows open. The Seagulls woke us up early in the morning and delivery trucks were very loud. The room was very small. The water was leaking out of the bath through the plughole and the shower was terrible. Plumbing needs a serious upgrade.
