cramped shower tight squeeze
the staff seemed nice enough, i guess. breakfast was acceptable, with a few standard options.
The 'premier sea view' room i booked felt quite small, especially the bathroom. It was a tight squeeze! the shower was particularly cramped and i bumped my elbows a few times. it was not the relaxing experience i was hoping for.
