adequate stay with some issues

convenient accessdisconnected exhaust fanlate night noise
the location provided convenient access to nearby attractions.
the absence of air conditioning proved uncomfortable. Opening the windows for ventilation led to noise disturbances late at night. The bathroom exhaust fan was disconnected creating a musty environment after showers

The room was very nice and neat. The view of the bay from my room was quite amazing. Breakfast was served on a silver tray , I thought that was a nice touch.
My room was not ready at 4pm. A woman at the desk was rude to me. The water pressure in the bathroom was terrible. It dropped down to trickling when someone flushed a toilet.
