convenient location well kept room amazing view closed gym extra charge smelly carpet

the location proved convenient for accessing nearby attractions. the room was well maintained, clean. an infinity pool located on the top floor offered an amazing view of the ocean.

the gym was not open. i found that a hot chocolate at breakfast incurred an extra charge. i also observed dampness , made the corridor carpet smelly.
