The breakfast room overlooked the sea, acceptable.
The cleanliness was not what I expected. The black carpet from reception to the second floor had leaves and debris. The bathroom window was filthy. It had a broken blind covered in mold. The shower drain plug was also filthy. I found this unacceptable.
