    "Room 2288, lovely quiet room, no view though. About a 5 minute walk to all restaurants etc."
    "Depending on your mobility ask for a central room on the ground floor. The complex is large and also there are no lifts."
    "High rooms very quiet but no lifts all rooms only 3 storey's high"
    "Upper sea view look the best."
    "We had room on ground floor with no sun at all"
