keyless check-inmassive living roomexcellent locationfresh towels
I appreciated the keyless self-check-in. It was very convenient. my room had a massive living room, great. the location was excellent, so close to everything. fresh towels were available, and the beds were clean.
i was on the top floor, and there wasn't a lift, so with medical issues, getting out of breath was easy.

The location was great as you could walk to the sea and gardens.
I found a few things that need some attention. The heated towel rail was rusting and the mirror has started to go black.
