the location was acceptable, close to the sea.
i was quite disappointed with the room i booked. it felt quite small and the furniture seemed dated. also, the noise from the street at night made it difficult to sleep, it was a little too loud.

I found some aspects disappointing. The electric charging points were occupied by regular combustion engine cars, annoying! staff seemed unconcerned and didn't offer assistance. The front desk manager never contacted me back. It seemed like they were deliberately difficult.
