perfect location free parking broken television missing hairdryer

The location was perfect. it was right across from the beach and some lovely cafes. I just adored this spot. the free parking across the road was quite convenient for me as well.

The television in the room did not work and i missed my favorite show. there wasn't a hairdryer available.

functional stay near the sea

seafront location lively pub handy grocery store free parking

The hotel is located near the seafront, a short walk away. it features a lively pub downstairs, a place i enjoyed for its atmosphere. i found a handy grocery store just across the street. It made getting supplies easy. free parking was available within a reasonable walking distance from the premises.

i noticed that the tv in my room did not function properly, limiting my entertainment options. the wifi signal was weak on my floor.

The pub downstairs provides a social atmosphere. It was quite popular with both guests and locals. parking is available. It requires a short walk, and there is a grocery store located directly across the street.

check-in was quick, it allowed for a smooth arrival after a long drive. staff were friendly, which i appreciated. however, the lack of consistent wifi signal and the malfunctioning tv caused a slight inconvenience.
