adequate, but issues noted

convenient locationsynthetic smelllack of privacy
The location proved convenient for local travel. This met my basic expectations.
The synthetic smell upon entry was unpleasant and pervasive. the ensuite shower room and toilet were small. Maneuvering was difficult and privacy was compromised due to the lack of a proper door. the overall condition felt outdated and somewhat neglected.

good locationlimescale shower headnoisy bed
the location was good for accessing both the beach and shops.
The room i had was disappointing. the shower head was covered in limescale (it even looked orange!), so it was hard to take a proper shower. also, the bed was noisy. Every time i moved, it creaked loudly.
