disappointing bathroom and minor issues
dated bathroom lukewarm breakfast
the room was generally quiet so i could sleep well.
the bathroom was dated and needs refurbishment i found a white patch covered by a bath mat i think there was a crack underneath it. the sink taps were also hard to use because they were old. breakfast was only lukewarm both mornings which was annoying

limited ventilation outdated bathroom
breakfast was satisfactory before my departure.
the room's temperature was too high, and the small windows offered limited ventilation.. dust accumulated on the window ledges, a concern given my respiratory sensitivities. the outdated bathroom really detracted from the experience for the price charged.

wonderful stay with lovely hosts
amazing hosts comfortable bed clean room fast tram
i booked a room here, and craig and julie were amazing hosts. julie happily let us drop off our bags early. the room was big, clean, and the bed was comfortable. we took the tram from the top of the road to the pleasure beach, it was really fast.
the room was very hot, and the two small windows gave very little ventilation. behind the blinds, the window ledges were dusty.

the hotel is near the tram stop, it offers quick access to the pleasure beach. this made traveling around very convenient, especially with family and luggage. the area felt safe.
