average stay with some issues

old carpet weak coffee
the room felt a bit tired. the carpet looked old, and i saw some wear on the furniture. also, the breakfast experience wasn't great as one of the coffee machines was out of order, and what i got tasted weak. that impacted the overall feeling.

spacious room comfortable armchairs quality toiletries
the room had a very spacious feel and a double bed facing the sea. i found two comfortable armchairs near the bay window. the bathroom was clean and had quality toiletries..
the windows only opened slightly so there was not much fresh air.
