    Keycards! Even though we kept them far from our phones, they often didn’t work and we had to have them re programmed.

    Internet on the TV kept disconnecting when trying to watch Netflix and would’ve liked a room with a nicer view but still a great time.

    Hotel was great, staff lovely, bed comfy, food great and room were big and spacious!

    At breakfast one morning, we asked for a certain table but were told it was reserved. It never did get used at all. The waiter that morning was quite unfriendly and grumpy. The waitresses again were great.

    The bar food was delicious. The service was excellent. The young waitresses were really busy but nothing was a bother to them.

    A little too far to walk to town center on a cold night. Asked for room with a view twice….

    Awesome view, connected to Leisure center- so I used the steam room. Short drive to town centre. Clean. Great town. Walks nearby. Food at restaurant was great. Great location for exploring peninsula.
