adequate stay near the beach

cool light nice bedroom short walk five minute walk broken window broken socket knocking noise warm room
the bedroom was nice. the shower even had a cool light. shops and food places were literally a five minute walk. it was a five minute walk to the beach too.
Noise in the hotel travelled a lot. the door made a knocking noise all night. the room was very warm. I could have used a fan. the window was a bit broken and a plug socket was also broken.
