The breakfast was fresh, offering good fuel for exploring. The staff members were helpful (especially Marie, who offered tips for local spots). Parking was secure and free of charge. I liked that. The hotel provided a quiet retreat, a bonus after long days of sightseeing.

close beachsecure parkingspartan roomschool group

The location was very close to the beach. I could walk there in minutes. A locked car park offered secure parking (i felt relieved).

The room was quite spartan. It lacked any kind of ac or fan. I found it a bit noisy because a school group stayed the night.
