Acceptable, with Some Issues

small room disruptive noise

The location was certainly convenient for accessing the town centre and the beach.

The room was very small. It was like an attic conversion with sloping ceilings. I bumped my head more than once and the wash basin was unusually tiny. the noise from seagulls, partygoers, and early morning workers was quite disruptive
