Acceptable Stay Near the Beach

friendly staff helpful staff perfect location beach proximity worn mattress stained linen
The staff was friendly and helpful . The location is very close to both the city center and the beach. The room was clean when I arrived.
The double bed mattress was worn with springs. The bed linen had stains. The shower had a bad smell and wasn't well kept.
