Acceptable Stay with Issues

small gympoolside shade

The gym was small. It became overcrowded EASILY. My view overlooked the motorway. This was not picturesque. Some poolside loungers lacked shade. Noise from other guests disrupted my sleep on the last night. It took security too long to resolve. This affected my overall impression.
