Acceptable Stay

spacious roomsmooth check-inlimited parkingdark room
The room was spacious and clean. I liked the fridge in the room, it was useful. The self check-in went smoothly (I had no issues at all). The location is near the beach.
My room lacked bedside lights. The limited parking was a problem, as I could not get a parking spot. the room felt a bit dark because it only had one window.
