efficient check-ingood furnitureclean showerdifficult sleep

i checked in efficiently early wednesday evening. the really decorated room featured good furniture. the super clean en suite shower and toilet provided a clean space, and the room smelled fresh. i had a tv and wifi available in my room.

the noise throughout the night made sleep difficult. people shouted upon arrival, and seagulls created noise outside the window all night. it was difficult to get proper rest due to these disturbances.

Service
