Acceptable Location. Disappointing Room

acceptable locationpoor soundproofingrattling air conditioning
The location was acceptable as it was close to the beach.
The room was a letdown! It felt smaller than the pictures indicated, and I could hear everything from the hallway. The noise at night made it hard to sleep. It sounded as if people were right outside the door. the air conditioning made a loud rattling sound every few hours that woke me up.

I expected more from this hotel, especially considering its price. the walls are pretty thin and i could hear everything from the next room. it was hard to relax. also, the breakfast got boring after a couple of days. There were few options and not much variety. i dont think i stay here again.

The location was really convenient. I easily walked to both beaches nearby. The rooftop swimming pool had lovely sunset views that I enjoyed every evening. Staff members were helpful, addressing my questions quickly. Breakfast offered a variety of options each morning!
