One night stay. Bathroom was good with plenty of hot water. Bed could have been better and there was no where to sit besides the bed.

Perfectly fine - room was clean and tidy. Eco friendliness? Didn’t see any dolphins murdered so must be dandy. Good value for money. Few minor areas of disrepair that could be improved (e.g windows don’t stay open and room was hot).
