acceptable breakfastold decorstained carpet
the breakfast was acceptable (nothing special, though).
The room i had was quite disappointing. It felt outdated and not as clean as i would have expected, especially considering the price. the decor seemed old, and there were some stains on the carpet, which really detracted from the experience.

I walked to the nearby beach from the hotel. The water pressure in the shower was quite powerful. I enjoyed this amenity.
The phone in the room did not work. The front desk was therefore not reachable from the room. the room lacked air conditioning. I opened a window, but mold was present.
