low pressure dog smell
the location was central. it was close to transport, shops, and food.
the shower barely had any pressure. the hotel also smelled of dogs from the owners living downstairs. this impacted the overall freshness of the room.

low shower pressure dog smell
the location was really convenient it was close to both shops and the beach. the room included tea and coffee supplies which was a nice touch.
the shower had barely any pressure, made showering difficult. i also noticed a distinct smell of dogs throughout the hotel, originating from the owners' dogs that lived downstairs. this was quite off-putting and affected the overall freshness of the room. the walls seemed thin, too as i could hear a lot of noise from other rooms and the hallway.
