my room had a beautiful view from the balcony on regency square. i could see the sea, it was quite something. the room had good natural light and bedside lamps too, which i liked a lot.

I had to climb several stairs to get to my room. There was no lift at all. it was a bit inconvenient as i was carrying luggage. the price felt a bit off considering i barely saw any staff, it left a strange feeling.
