traditional elegancetwin bedsjudgmental staff
the traditional elegance was acceptable i guess.
I asked for a room with twin beds, i received confirmation, but it never materialized. They didn't even attempt to fix it later. also, some of the staff seemed a bit too eager to judge a book by its cover, i mean, i'm not 97 but i do have tattoos.

The meals met my expectations. They were edible, and i guess that's something.
My room was supposed to have a view of the sea, but instead, i faced what i suspect was the kitchen. I could hear every clatter and bang at all hours, just good, and my promised double bed turned out to be two singles pushed together.
