A Charming Stay Near the Coast

clean roomfriendly staffair conditioning unit
I found the room clean upon arrival. The location was perfect. I could easily access nearby attractions (I had planned a romantic getaway). I really appreciated the friendly staff. They were always ready to help.
The air conditioning unit in the room seemed to struggle to keep up with the summer heat. It kept reverting to heat mode. I had to adjust it frequently (which was a minor annoyance).
