underwhelming stay

gritty floor obstructed view
the room was not as clean as i hoped. the bathroom floor felt gritty, and there was dust in the corners. also, the promised sea view was partially obstructed. a large tree right outside the window limited the view. the breakfast selection was also rather basic. i expected more variety for the price.
