dark car park outdated decor
The car park was dark upon arrival. The lights were off? directions to the room were given instead of showing us. The room itself felt outdated. the shampoo did not foam well? i found bugs in the bathroom. there were only two half-used toilet rolls. Not enough for the stay. the sea view advertised online was only a partial view overlooking the car park. It was quite misleading!
