Acceptable Stay, but Improvements Needed

tasty fooddirty beachrusty equipment
The restaurant provided a fantastic dining experience and tasty food.
The beach had debris and plastic washed up by the waves. The small gym was not clean, and the dumbbells and equipment had rust. Water leaked into the room from the balcony window during heavy nighttime storms despite it being closed.

highway exitpoor maintenanceexpensive breakfast
the hotel is near the highway exit and that was fine. staff seemed friendly.
the hotel looks not maintained well. i hoped for the beach but a local told me not to swim there because of a river next to it. breakfast cost 30€ for two persons, i think that is not worth it.
