Aquarius on the Beach
"It was a convenient location and accessible. The actual room was dirty and had mould on the kitchenette cabinets and through the bathroom. Buy some mould killer and go through the rooms one by one cleaning the mould out of them. Very off-putting and most likely won't stay there again."
