There’s no wheelchair access.
There is neither wheelchair access nor street level access at Chesterfield and you must climb several steps to enter the hotel. This will be a disadvantage to anyone with low mobility and may prove difficult for those with a lot of luggage and small child

No on-site parking.
There is no on-site parking at this hotel and it can be a bit difficult to find a spot to park your car, especially during peak season.

Some guest rooms are dark.
Although most of the guest rooms afford plenty of natural light, you will find that the rooms at the back of the hotel tend to be rather dark. Be sure to book a room facing the sea for the best views and most light.
