mixed feelings about this place
early alarm parking problem
The fire alarm went off early one morning, a real disturbance to my sleep. parking nearby was also problematic. I ended up circling a few times to find a space. i feel some improvements could be made to address these issues. the overall experience was okay, but these factors definitely detracted from it

small room noisy cleaning
the hotel breakfast was fine, lots of food on offer.
the room size was disappointing, smaller then expected. the 'sea view' i paid extra for was mostly a view of the carpark. also, someone started hoovering right outside my door at 8am, wasnt ideal.
