surprising value near seafront

the family room with sea view features two comfortable beds. dinner offered a reasonable selection, and the food i ate was well cooked. THE location was convenient, very close to the beach and local theatre.
the room was bit smaller than usual. for summer days without air conditioning, the room become stuffy. sleeping with open windows, i woke up very early because of seagulls.
