polite stafffresh breakfastconvenient locationold bedroomfaulty holderhallway light
The staff was polite. I was close to the beach, shops, restaurants, and coffee shops. Breakfast was fresh and delicious . The location is really convenient.
The bedroom showed signs of age. The toilet roll holder kept falling off the wall. A gap was present at the bottom of the room door. Light from the hallway flooded in directly. This made it difficult to sleep.
