Acceptable Stay with a Few Issues

greasy sink expensive car park
The room was a good size, it had two balconies and a big bed. The views were also acceptable.
The car park was expensive. I paid £20 a night. There was no fridge or air conditioning in the room. The sink in the bathroom felt greasy, I didn't like it.

The room featured a king bed and a good-sized sea view. I found the breakfast menu offered a good choice (a nice way to start the day!).
I thought the selection in the bar could have been slightly better.
