pleasant surprise near the coast
central locationdelicious snacksfriendly staff
i enjoyed the central location and my daughter appreciated our family room it had plenty of space. the basket of goodies provided a lovely touch and we found some delicious snacks. i thought the staff were friendly and this.
the shower was a bit awkwardly cramped and seemed quite high off the floor it could be a bit tricky for some people to get out safely with wet feet.

the room lacked proper soundproofing. i could hear street noise throughout the night. also, the breakfast selection felt minimal and not particularly fresh. the croissants seemed stale, and the fruit offering was limited to just apples.
