sea viewhot foodfaulty toiletleaky tap
the eating area overlooks the sea and harbour, I enjoyed that view. The staff made sure hot food was served at all times so that was nice.
The toilet did NOT flush properly. This was a problem. When I turned the tap on, the sink leaked water and flooded the bathroom. This was messy.

The corridors and carpets were not perfectly clean.
