inconsistent shower tv remote
the hotel had a good location near to the beach and public transport. the room was mostly clean and functional.
i found the room a little disappointing. the shower temperature was not consistent, and it made it difficult to have a comfortable shower. the tv remote also didn't work, and i was unable to change channels or adjust the volume.

a bit underwhelming stay

shower problem low water pressure
the location was really good, not far from the beach.
the shower in the room didn't work so well. it kept switching to cold water, it made it difficult to shower properly. maybe it is because of low water pressure and a safety thing, but i don't know. i'd hoped it would be fixed quicker.
