adequate stay, but issues noted

friendly staffdirty bathroomunclean toilet
the staff were friendly. the price was acceptable for the location.
my room had not been cleaned properly since the previous occupant. the bathroom had hair in the drain and the toilet still contained waste from a prior guest. this lack of cleanliness is unacceptable in any accommodation.

the room had such good size, a welcome surprise. the bed reminded me of a cloud, offering such a comfortable night's sleep. the view from my window was lovely too, overlooking the sea and adding a little magic to the stay.
i found some cleaning issues that bothered me a little. there were a few stains all over the carpet, something that detracted from the otherwise neat appearance.

spacious family roomkind staffsea viewearly check-out
The family room was very spacious. It even had a fantastic sea view. Staff members were super kind and helpful. I really enjoyed the area. Prices in the pubs and cafés are very reasonable.
I found the check-out time to be ridiculously early. I'm used to 11am or 12pm, not 10am, at other hotels.

The pub downstairs does excellent food, indeed. I found the Sunday dinner tasty but could have been warmer. That would have made it perfect. The bar downstairs is also an option for a drink before and after a match.
