The hotel I stayed at had some positives like a good location near the beach and friendly staff, but there were significant drawbacks such as the lack of communication about limited services and the inconvenience of not having certain room amenities like a microwave. The parking situation was also frustrating, as I paid for parking but didn't even get a space, plus there were missing bath towels in the room.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of highs and lows. The room was small, dirty, and had a horrible damp smell, but it was surprisingly beautiful, neat, and comfortable at a very affordable rate. However, I was disappointed that it was too small, I couldn't even move to the other side of the bed, and it didn't have the promised fridge and aircon, which was a total letdown.

Although the hotel rooms were up to standards, there was a bad smell that needed attention. Despite some issues at check-out, I would consider returning in the future.
