clean room , great location

clean room large tv perfect location

the room was very clean. a large tv was available. a ceiling fan was provided , it proved helpful as the weather was warm. the location was perfect , it was next to coral island.

the front door did not shut properly. there were no instructions to use the ceiling fan. there was no plug next to the kettle , this meant boiling it on the floor.

clean room lovely bedding tiny sink awkward shelf

The room was very clean and the bedding felt quite nice.

The sink was too tiny to use for basic hygiene tasks, with a shelf placed awkwardly above it. Brushing my teeth became a challenge.
