Excellent Seaside Stay

spacious layout pier view convenient parking
The room featured a spacious layout. The room upgrade was unexpected. The view of the pier from the bedroom window was nice! On-street parking outside the hotel was easy. I found a spot without problems. Check-out time was conveniently set for 11 am.
The windows were very stiff to open and only opened to a certain extent.
