Cavendish Hotel

Cavendish Hotel

8/10 Good
"We arrived earlier and were helpfully directed by a receptionist (Ozgen) about the location of their on-site car park (available on a first-come, first-served basis); the rate information on a 24-hour basis (£8 instead of £10); and how to log in car's registration number once it's been parked. We were unable to check in early, but left our suitcase securely in Ozgen's hands until we came back. Whilst waiting, we enjoyed basking in the beauty of the sea and the sun (as well as the shingle). We were also witnessed the Airbourne shows with the rest of the beach goers. Our double room was spacious with an entryway, my requested electric fan, and an ensuite bathroom. The main room had hinged picture windows, a mini fridge (cool enough for preservation level), or similar to what their advertised double room images. However, the mirrors' placements are different with no luggage rack, but a luggage cabinet. The actual ensuite bathroom with shower/bathtub combination. In my opinion, it was better because of the inset basin, which provided ample space for toiletries and other bathroom essentials. The entryway had a wardrobe cabinet with the safe and the iron/ironing board. Wish the carpet were thoroughly clean; another set of pillows was provided; and the windows' openings are in different directions to provide more privacy. There was a drinking water dispenser at the reception; and a bar balcony for relaxing nights whilst listening to live background music."
