Given the photos that appear on the Expedia page, I had expected great things from the Ocean Star. While the photo of the seaside is the first one you see on the website, it is nowhere near water. The photos of the interiors give the impression of elegance and polish. This is a perfectly adequate hotel, but elegant and polished it is NOT. There's lots of parking. I was put in 106 on the ground floor. The double-glazed window saved me from the noise of the parking lot, and the heavily-used road nearby; good black-out curtains which did an adequate job. I had a comfortable king-sized bed with two types of pillows - small, old mushy ones and larger, newer ones that were rock-hard. Adequate blankets for cold-blooded sleepers like me would have left most people frozen. The sheets didn't fit properly. The 'bathroom' sink is outside the bathroom, between the bed and the door. It's a heavy glass bowl, badly chipped, perhaps by the hair-dryer which is positioned directly above it, nice and handy for dropping into the sink and causing electrocution. While the room was clean, much of the infrastructure (caulking in the bathroom, flooring) looked dated and slightly worn. Breakfast was served in paper and plastic: cold hard boiled eggs, waffles, little grey sausages and cereals in plastic boxes. The doughnuts looked good! Coffee...well, I guess it was. Check in and check out simple and adequately friendly. Adequate once, not again.
