Acceptable Stay with a Major Drawback
good foodgood bar areathin wallsdisruptive 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 attentivenesshelpful guidancefresh appealfriendly 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, looked 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.
