sea locationlukewarm foodpoor service

the location was acceptable. it was across from the sea.

the breakfast was not good. a young girl directed me to the buffet, she did not explain the options. i think that omelettes should be cooked to order. the hot breakfast was lukewarm at best.

the hotel location was convenient.

the room assigned was not up to par. there was a very noticeable gap under the door that allowed considerable noise from the corridor to penetrate. the noise of running water in the pipes from early morning was also disruptive.
