average stay with a few hiccups

sticky areas stained carpets
the staff was friendly and seemed willing to help guests, which i suppose is their job. they stored luggage after i checked out.
the room cleaning left a lot to be desired. the carpets had some questionable stains, and i wondered if anyone actually vacuumed before i arrived. some areas were just plain sticky, which wasn't great.

The location was great. It was right in the thick of all the attractions. The beds were comfortable. The staff was friendly and happy to help.
The radiator was ON in my room. I tried to turn it off, but nothing worked. The heat in the room was horrendous. I struggled to sleep because it was so hot!

the room was very basic. there was only a small plug in heater, though it gave hardly any heat. when i turned the shower on hot there was hardly any pressure. i could cope with all this.

The breakfast was fabulous! The staff were excellent. They provided prompt service. I found it very close to the promenade for seafront walks. The pleasure beach was also nearby.
