Acceptable stay with some drawbacks

advantageous locationunderwhelming entranceindustrial walls

Location was a definite advantage, situated directly opposite the promenade. It was easy to walk to attractions.

The online pictures suggested a grand hotel. The entrance was like a back door for deliveries (it was underwhelming). Interior walls felt industrial, like a police station. I expected a higher standard for the price paid.

The hotel's location made it easy to get around. It's steps from the metro and port! The room offered good air conditioning and a clean, comfortable bed. The shower was also quite large. I appreciated the separate toilet.

The hotel did not provide mugs or cups, only paper cups. I had to rinse them out to reuse them later. They gave just one set.
