    Due to older construction poor sound insulation, noise coming from adjoining unit. Bit more curtain coverage on front door would be helpful

    Location Clean Older style and basic but quite acceptable for short stay, had everything you'd need

    The shower head is very low and poor water pressure

    Location, comfortable beds, laundry onsite. They did upgrade our room due to a leak in our booked room which was unexpected.

    Only recommendation would be to put a waste bin in bathroom. I dislike having to put personal hygiene products in kitchen bin

    Excellent location. Really clean. Bathroom was new & clean. Bed super comfy.

    Location far from the station if you are without a car, as I was. Like many rooms, good comfort but. Nowhere to hang or store clothes. Impossible to be tidy.

    Location beach front, quiet, comfortable . Nice bathroom..
