A Good Stay
cute hosthomey roomaccessible toiletdust problemhair problempoor hygiene
Carl was real nice, and he helped me a lot. The room was homey, and I liked it a lot. It was also easy to get to the toilet from there.
The deep clean could be better. I saw dust, and hair was present. The hygiene of other guests in the shared bathroom was not ideal.

The location was close to the beach. A very short walk i was glad it was convenient.
The room was not as clean as i expected. I found some dust and hair. the shared bathroom needed more attention to hygiene, it was not up to my standards.

beach proximitybreakfast varietygarden pondshared bathroomdeep cleanpaint touch-ups
i appreciated the hotel's proximity to the beach. it made it easy to take walks. the breakfast included a variety of options such as cheese, marmalade, and cereals. the garden featured a little pond with koi fish, which i found good.
the shared bathroom facilities presented a challenge. i also noticed the need for a deep clean in certain areas. some general paint touch-ups seemed necessary.

the room had a sink and mirror for skincare, a nice feature. breakfast included cheese and cereals, a good variety. there's a garden door next to the breakfast room with a koi fish pond.
The shared bathroom cleanliness depended on other guests. I noticed some dust.
