spacious room clean bedding powerful shower stained carpet bedside table double room

The room was spacious. The bedding seemed clean. The bathroom had a powerful shower, thats good. Lots of tea and coffee were stocked in the room, I appreciate that.

The carpets in the hall was stained. My room was advertised as a beautiful suite, but it was just a double room. There was only one bedside table in the room, not ideal.

I appreciated the room's ground floor location. It offered a good beach view. The room itself was spacious, with a double bed and a single bed. Amenities included a fridge, wardrobe, TV, and tea and coffee facilities, convenient. A hairdryer was also available, and there was a seating area for enjoying the view.

While there weren't dining options on-site, I could walk to plenty of places nearby to eat. This made it easy to find meals and snacks. The lack of on-site dining didn't bother me too much.

acceptable, but some issues

room service late night parties

the room was sufficiently modern, i suppose.

I was disappointed that my room was not serviced between nights. This is something i've never experienced before. many people were coming and going late at night, and there seemed to be parties happening in rooms. it was distracting.

thin walls furniture stain

The walls felt thin. I could hear every conversation next door. the room looked good initially, but closer inspection revealed stains on the furniture and carpet. i also saw what looked like tea splashes down the walls, which wasn't very appealing. it just lacked thorough cleaning. the experience was underwhelming, especially considering the price.

decent stay with a couple of drawbacks

sea view decent space free parking cleaning detail hand towel bedside cabinet

The room faced the sea. I woke up to a beautiful view. The room also had a nice size and a great balcony. Free parking was available,.

There were some issues with cleanliness (i found some dirt). Detail to cleaning definitely needs more attention. I noticed there were no hand towels or a shower mat in the bathroom. There was only one bedside cabinet and light.
