underwhelming stay

hard bed broken shower

the location was convenient for accessing nearby attractions.

the room was far from ideal. the bed was hard and uncomfortable. furthermore, the shower had a broken screen, replaced by a curtain that didn't fully cover the area. there was also a lot of dirt between the tiles.

adequate location, worn facilities

worn furniture leaky shower

the hotel location near the beach was quite convenient.

The room decor felt quite tired and dated. The furniture showed significant wear. i also noticed the bathroom fittings needed some attention. the shower door did not fully close, causing water to leak onto the floor during use. This made the small bathroom quite slippery and inconvenient to use.
