good locationdusty furniturelow pressure shower
the location was close to the beach, acceptable for a short vacation.
The room was not properly cleaned. There was visible dust on the furniture. the shower had very low water pressure, it made it difficult to wash properly. also, the breakfast selection was limited and not very appealing.
