A Decent Stay

friendly host helpful host beach location perfect location comfortable bed new mattress coffee replenishment tea replenishment hotel parking nearby parking shared bathroom long wait
The hosts were really friendly and helpful. The location offered a short walk down to the beach. I also appreciated the new mattresses in each room. The beds were comfortable.
Tea and coffee were never replenished of several days. I also found that parking near the hotel was difficult. A longer wait time for the shared bathroom was experienced.
