Excellent stay at the coast

spacious room breakfast selection
The room I stayed in had tasteful décor and a calming atmosphere. It was spacious. Their friendliness stood out. The provided breakfast had a nice selection, and the views from the breakfast area were fine.
The food in the restaurant was mediocre. Nearly everything included breading. There was a lack of vegetables on the menu and as side dishes.
