mixed feelings about my stay

perfect locationnoise levelloud talking
the location was indeed perfect, right on the seafront.
i was disappointed with the noise level. guests congregated outside my window late into the evening and talked loudly. this made it difficult to relax, especially after a long day of travel.

acceptable stay, SOME disappointments

great locationunclean basininconsistent wi-fi
The location felt great directly on the seafront.
Room cleanliness seemed questionable. The basin was not clean. The wi-fi did not work consistently, made planning activities difficult. It seems pricier given that it's only a room, food and drinks are not included.

Acceptable Stay with Noise Issues

seafront locationunusual bathroom shapenoise problem
The location is right on the seafront.
The noise was a problem. I could hear every voice and doors shutting due to being near the veranda and entry door. The bathroom was an unusual shape, so it was difficult to get into and it had no useable surfaces.

basic stay with some issues

unprofessional staffconstant noise
The hotel felt overpriced for what it offered. i found the staff's appearance unprofessional, with unkempt t-shirts. additionally, i was disturbed by noise. I could clearly hear conversations and doors shutting from nearby rooms. i think improvements are necessary to justify the price.
