Acceptable Location, Noticeable Issues

beach frontdated roomsmall bed
The location of this hotel is great, situated right on the beach front.
The room was quite dated! and the bed was smaller than expected, only 2 meters long, a problem. I also woke up with back pain every morning, likely due to the mattress having numerous bumps. A towel rack in the bathroom would be useful too.

Acceptable Stay with Some Disappointments

mildew smellfirm egg
My stay wasn't terrible, yet it wasn't really good either. The bathroom smelled quite strongly of mildew. I believe towels added to this issue. Breakfast was decent, but the cooked items seemed reheated. The poached egg was firm, not runny.
