i was a bit let down by a couple of things. the bathroom felt pretty dated. the shower head sprayed water everywhere except where it should. also, the promised 'sea view' from my "triple room" was mostly a view of the parking lot with a tiny sliver of blue in the distance. i expected better, frankly.
