broken rail failing catch

The bathroom needed more attention. the shower cubicle had a broken top rail. this made the door difficult to close. i also noticed the bathroom door didn't stay shut. The catch failed, so it faced the room entry. i found that annoying.

The hotel location allowed easy access to the beach, with buses running frequently. I found clean rooms equipped with necessary amenities. The staff members I interacted with were friendly and willing to assist, which I appreciated. Free on-site parking and a reliable bus service directly outside the hotel added to the convenience.

I noticed that some areas looked a bit dated. The lift was also quite small.

The location was close to many things I had planned. Free parking existed.

The hotel info suggested there was a restaurant (i was excited about that). I booked room only, but this was never offered upon arrival. The hotel had a bar, however it was never open.
