Really good Stay with Fantastic Sea Views

sea viewcomfortable bedclean towelsroad noise

The King Room Sea View, I had, offered great views from the windows. The room was also huge. The bathroom included a big bath and shower. It was very comfortable and always had clean towels. There were also plenty of tea and coffee supplies.

The smaller window had a handle. It clashed with the wall, preventing a full close. The road noise was noticeable as a result.

i found the staff very friendly and helpful, especially with local recommendations. the location was excellent, it made exploring very easy. my room was super clean, and the cleaning service kept it that way throughout my stay..

the lack of on-site parking created some stress since i needed to find street parking each evening.
