old furnituremusty room

The room was supposedly a 'junior suite sea view,' but jokes on me. the size was a rip-off!!! the furniture looked like it was rescued from a skip, all old and sad. the bed seemed like sleeping on concrete, and it was too short. My feet dangled off the end. plus, the room smelled musty. i definitely overpaid. It's not worth the money

Mixed feelings about my stay

The building had interesting architecture.

I experienced some issues with the room. The room was quite worn and looked dated. I noticed stains on the plastered walls in the bathroom. The fake mural in the living room was peeling wallpaper. This REALLY detracted from the overall experience.
