The front desk staff gave quick assistance with directions and local attractions. They even provided complimentary bikes. the provided breakfast included egg bites and various breads. the happy hour featured complimentary wine and cookies. our room had a kitchen. i especially appreciated the garden's well-cared-for appearance.
The hotel location was slightly farther from the beach than i thought. The walk was still manageable, though.
