mixed feelings on certain amenities

iron absence forgettable breakfast
the room provide a large shower, i did expect this feature.
the lack of an iron was really unacceptable. i ask for one all three times. they mention a complicated ironing service, but it was not available on weekends. furthermore, breakfast seemed okay, yet rather forgettable.

Solid Stay Near the Sea

ocean location quick bus tranquil terrace equipped gym
the location is near the ocean. a bus makes for a quick ride to the city center. the hotel features a tranquil terrace and roof areas. i found a well-equipped gym with dumbbells and machines. english channels are available on tv. i also appreciated the kettle provided in the room along with a large bottle of water and fridge.
i had to pay for a pool towel, which seems unnecessary.

excellent stay by the ocean

ocean proximity convenient access relaxing space great views
i appreciated the proximity to the ocean. the boardwalk offered pleasant walks, and sunsets were amazing. the hotel provided convenient access to trams and buses, simplifying my travel around the area. the rooftop pool was a highlight, offering a relaxing space with great views.
The absence of readily available ironing facilities was slightly inconvenient. I would have preferred having an iron in the room.
