Not as GRAND as it could be - just Standard

We booked a deluxe room with sea view, but it was only the view that was special, room was very basic, did not even get bottled water in the room, the shower curtain is very cheap and plastic so clings to you while you shower, breakfast was okay but lacked addition items we would expect from an expensive hotel, such as fresh fruit and sealed yogurts and jams. this is very much a standard provision hotel and not GRAND, other than the building the pathway to the entrance from the seafront should also be lit from the side of the hotel as this is not safe
