pleasant short stay

efficient staffeasy parkingdirty lift
The staff welcomed guests warmly and efficiently. my room had everything needed. Food was excellent with large portions. parking was easy, and the location near the beach provided easy access to the sandy shore. the staff created a personal and cute atmosphere for all guests.
The lift was dirty and smelled strongly of garlic. my allocated room was small, and the bathroom had an unpleasant smell. it didn't appear very clean, notably the overflow on the basin.
