mixed feelings about my stay

convenient locationcramped roombrick wall view
the location was convenient near the sea.
my room was notably cramped. the view from the window was directly onto a brick wall. furthermore, i found that breakfast seating prioritized others, leaving me against a wall until i requested a different spot.
