The breakfast was acceptable (nothing special, to be honest).
I was allocated a Classic Double Room Side Sea View. The air conditioning unit was noisy. I could not sleep well. the mini-fridge did not work, so I could not cool my drinks.

Underwhelming Stay

acceptable locationpeeling paintdepressing bathroom
The location was acceptable.
The room condition was not good. There were stains on the carpet and the furniture paint was peeling and the bathroom looked depressing. This was like a three-star bathroom, with a design from the 80s.
