adequate but some cleanliness issues
excellent locationdirty carpettea stains
the location was excellent, right on the sea front.
my room seemed to lack attention to detail regarding cleanliness, i noticed cobwebs above the curtain and tea stains on the skirting, the carpet on the stairs looked very dirty, giving a poor first impression. i also observed staff handling bread in the dining room without using tongs.
