lovely stay near the beach

modest themereasonable pricekind staffmissing teabag
The room was beautiful with lovely colours and a modest beach theme. The staff were kind and accommodating to all requests. I found the price quite reasonable given the location. We could rent bikes and cycle along the promenade in the evening.
I noticed there were no tea bags in the room, which i would have liked since i hate coffee. The provision of a fridge in the room would improve my stay.

the location was very convenient near the beach. friendly staff helped with directions. i appreciated the availability of bikes for rent (i didn't use them though).
The room felt quite dark. the view from the window wasn't great. It faced a wall. a cleaning cart was parked right outside much of the day. (it was a bit noisy.)
