reasonable seaside stay
caring attention convenient parking quick room service old bathroom missing key terrible food quality
The staff is SUperb. the attention paid to guests felt caring. self parking was very convenient. This made arrival straightforward. room service arrived quickly and tasted fresh.
The bathrooms show their age. public area bathrooms lacked basic necessities such as a key. This was inconvenient. the beach restaurant had disappointing food quality. My fish order needed to be returned.
