Acceptable Stay with Some Issues

beach locationdirty balconyleaking shower
the location across from the beach was acceptable.
I found cobwebs and bird markings on the balcony. It seemed like it hadn't been properly cleaned. the shower head also leaked, and it was necessary to tighten it. a mark above the sliding door looked like someone had smeared a bug, it was quite off-putting.

The location is great next to the beach! The check-in process was simple and quick. The staff during breakfast were very helpful. I appreciate their service.
The room lacked character and felt dated. The table on the balcony was filthy. It clearly had not been cleaned. Tissues were not replenished. The tissue box was empty.
