Adequate Stay with Minor Issues

pleasant staff clean room comfortable bed many stairs poor lighting expensive minibar
The staff was pleasant and helpful. My room was clean upon arrival. I found the bed quite comfortable for a good night's sleep.
There were a lot of stairs. This was difficult with luggage. The lighting in the bathroom wasn't ideal for applying makeup. I thought the minibar prices were high. A bottle of water cost a lot.

The staff were cute and polite, without exception. the shower in room 3 was very nice. the restaurant was superb. I appreciated the delicious food. we parked on the road outside, convenient.
The location was a bit grotty, though near the sea it was surrounded by flats and not the nicest part of the area. Still, it was manageable.
