decent stay AT the hotel

spacious roomdouble bedgood breakfastunwelcoming receptionistwater pressurerude barman
The room was spacious and came with a double bed. I also had a sea view from my room. Breakfast was included, and it had a good selection.
The receptionist wasn't that cute when I arrived at the hotel. There were issues with the water pressure. No hot water was available at one point. The barman was abrupt. I only received one jug of water.

The location was good. It was convenient for accessing nearby attractions, I suppose.
The room was not up to par. There was visible dirt. The bathroom fixtures looked old and worn and the shower barely worked. The noise from other guests in the hallway was disruptive.

The hotel location IS fantastic! The buffet breakfast offered a good selection of items. Private parking behind the hotel was helpful and convenient.
The air conditioning was broken, made the room uncomfortably warm. I noticed some chairs in the room had stains. General cleanliness was not great, SOME updates would be beneficial.
