convenient location tight squeeze first floor room
The location proved convenient, being only two blocks from the shore for a lovely walk. It was also close to several attractions. I found guest parking within a gate. It was a bit of a tight squeeze, but appreciated. My first-floor room was nice for the duration of my stay.
The room was not very nice! it cost more than the room I was given.

Mixed Experience at the Hotel

small room uncomfortable bed
The hotel was clean and the restaurant food was good.
The room was very small, it felt more like a spare bedroom at a friend's house. The bed was also uncomfortably small. It wasn't suitable for two adults. The hotel was too hot. It took a while to cool down even after we turned off the heating.
