What was the speaker's experience with the hotel accommodations in Qingdao?
The speaker stayed in a sea-view room but found it difficult to see the sea due to low floor height and obstructing buildings. The bed in the room also moved unexpectedly due to slippery floors. Despite these issues, the hotel's breakfast was surprisingly good.
