Adequate Stay

convenient location large room extra pillows outdated room unattractive view thin walls
The location proved functional. It was near the tourist area and the sea. Our room was quite large, one of the biggest during our trip. We also found useful items provided, such as slippers, water, and extra pillows.
The room seemed a bit outdated. I noticed the balcony overlooked an unattractive parking area and some buildings. The walls were not thick. I could hear people talking in the next room and walking in the hallway.
