Acceptable, with Some Issues

convenient locationsmall roomdisruptive noise
The location was certainly convenient for accessing the town centre and the beach.
The room was very small. It reminded me of 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
