functional stay near the sea

seafront locationlively pubhandy grocery storefree 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 looked 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.
Service

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.
