small bike roomdifficult access

i was a bit disappointed. the bike room was not good at all. you must ask for the key each time and push your bike through several areas. plus, the room was very small, and lifting an e-bike to hang it up was almost impossible for me.

THE room was spacious IT included a double bed. BREAKFAST featured many fresh options. I REALLY appreciated the short walk to the beach from here.

THE breakfast area offered good food. I found the bar very relaxing after a day out. THE hotel provided bicycles for rent and cycling along the promenade provided fine views. CHRISTMAS lights decorated outside the building.

inconvenient bike roomsmall space

the bike room was inconvenient i needed to ask for the key each time. moving the bike through several sections was difficult. calling it a bike hotel is an overstatement because the space is small and bikes must be hung up which was hard for me to do alone.
