pleasant stay with a sea view

sea viewconvenient parkingsmall tv
I really enjoyed the large room with views of the sea. The pier was visible from my window. the bed was very comfortable and i unexpectedly received a room upgrade from subham. on-street parking outside the hotel was convenient, and it was easy to find a spot.
The tv was quite small, and it was old. Subtitles were not available. i often rely on subtitles because of my hearing, so this was inconvenient
