Location was ok in the middle of the beach area. Carpet was so dirty looking. Not very updated. Room was nice and comfortable bed, but Room 108 was terrible. Staff working and banging things until after 1:00 am. No lift for seniors to get their bags up several flights of stairs.

With the temperature in single figures, was expecting the heating to be on.
Not even the towel rail was on.
Had to sleep in layers.

Stayed here last year and no complaints but this year it was not a good experience, room was like a broom closet with screened windows because of the horrible view outside, even though I had asked for a sea view as it was my 71st.birthday.
Food was warm but not hot and although I do like loud music it didn't stop till 3 in the morning. Never stay again but will stay in bray again but not the martello.
