Average stay with cleanliness issues

filthy shower tray draughty window
The shower tray was filthy. I noticed this immediately. The quilt felt rather thin, really inadequate for the winter months. The window, unfortunately, had a noticeable draught. I could see a gap at the top (a bit alarming). No cloths were provided for cleaning even though cleaning products were available.

Fantastic Location and Great Value!

easy self-check-in secure door codes excellent location
The hotel's location was super! It was just a short walk up the hill from the whale bones. The beach and town center were only about five minutes away. So convenient! We stayed in a lovely Large Double Room. Self-check-in was very easy, and I felt very secure with the door codes.
I noticed a couple of minor stains on the kitchen surfaces. Utensils felt just a tiny bit greasy.
