seafront gem

sea viewhelpful staffamazing breakfastparking access
the location is amazing with views overlooking the beach i had delicious meals the staff were very friendly and super helpful and were pretty good. the breakfast was amazing and i really loved the big room i had which also had an excellent view i felt so refreshed. check in and check out were so quick i just zoomed through everything it was all so easy.
i think the hotel should do something about parking i had a bit of a problem as the hotel does not have access to parking there's only street parking available and it's very busy with time restrictions this was a bit inconvenient for me

Acceptable Stay with a Disappointing Room

good breakfastsmall roomclaustrophobic atmosphere
The breakfast choice was good.
I was very angry that I paid a high price for one of the worst hotel rooms I've ever stayed in. The room was far too small for two people and very claustrophobic. I seemed like I was in a student dorm because of the bed configuration.
