Wonderful Seaside Visit

The function room proved ideal. It had a dance floor and a private bar. The staff put on extra bartenders because it was a BUSY event. The hotel offered a discount on rooms, and breakfast tasted delicious.
The carpet in my room looked like it had not been vacuumed recently.
