the cooked breakfast was copious. the hotel was situated between a local hub and a well-known coastline. staff were friendly and helpful.
the carpark was tight and narrow. broken furniture and overflowing bins were there. the room looked dated and tired (i would prefer a more modern style).

my family and i had a room with a fridge. our family room offered generous space. the room more than met our needs. breakfast had a wide choice, and the staff remade my grandson's eggs exactly as he wished.
The room was dated and didn't quite meet expectations. Doors didn't even close properly. the toilet seat moved a bit. wallpaper was coming away from the wall. i wasn't impressed.
