clean roombrick wall viewstiff toast
the room was clean that's something i guess.
the view from the room faced a brick wall. not much of a sea view there. and the breakfast tasted like it was cooked last week or something. the toast was especially stiff.

adequate stay. some issues
short walkmissing showerlittle privacy
the location provided a short walk to restaurants. it was convenient.
i booked a superior room. it lacked a shower. this made getting ready in the morning difficult. the frosted glass between the toilet and bedroom offered little privacy when the light was on.
