Acceptable Stay with a Major Drawback

good food good bar area thin walls disruptive noises
The food and bar area seemed fine.
I could clearly hear conversations from the next room as if I was in the same room because the walls seemed paper thin. there were disruptive noises from the room above, so I was awakened early. I did not expect this level of noise in a hotel.

Nice Stay at Seaside Gem

genuine attentiveness helpful guidance fresh appeal friendly head waiter
The staff showed genuine attentiveness. Breakfast included several options. The breakfast staff quickly managed seating. They asked if i needed additional tea. It was a kind gesture. I found the location convenient, close to local shops and transport. The staff provided helpful guidance. Leaving my luggage before check-in was no problem. i would revisit this place. The room was very quiet. A recent decoration of the WHOLE hotel gave it a fresh appeal. The staircase was particularly beautiful. It caught my attention. Staying one night. i noticed staff were cleaning. ALL areas of the hotel, including the reception, was very tidy. Check-in was easy. i also observed the head waiter being friendly with all guests during breakfast.
The walls between rooms felt thin. I heard conversations. It's a minor issue but worth noting.
