basic but convenient stay

convenient locationbudget pricecomfortable bedserious tlc

the location was close to the waterfront. it allowed easy access to the town centre. the price was budget-friendly, especially for a single traveler. the bed was comfortable.

i noticed that the hotel could use some serious tender loving care. there was no air conditioning in the room. i had to buy toilet paper, a basic necessity for any hotel stay.

Rooms

8/10

the room included basic amenities and was relatively clean. bed sheets and towels were clean. the room provided a view of the sea, something i appreciated.

Service

the hotel location is very convenient it is close to everything. i could easily walk to the beach in about five minutes the location made exploring very easy.

the staff member entered my room early one morning while i was sleeping that was concerning. the staff were unhelpful when there was an argument in the next room i thought i would need to call the police.
