Acceptable Stay with Issues

black mold inadequate shower
The location was central and close to the beach which was convenient.
The bathroom had some issues. The shower lacked a proper enclosure so water constantly leaked onto the floor. I found black mold on the ceiling, which I found very concerning. The shower head was not fixed to the wall. It had to be held, and the shower space was very small.

convenient connections nice coffee enough food small rooms small balcony difficult coffee
The location was GREAT. A bus stop was right outside the hotel with convenient connections. There were also some restaurant options downstairs. THE breakfast offered enough food, and the coffee tasted nice.
the rooms were VERY small! It was only good for sleeping. Drinking coffee for two people was difficult. The balcony was also too small to spend time there or even hang beach towels.
