Lovely stay!

fabulous view perfectly placed chairs comfy bed excellent decor

I had an fantastic night at this place.. customer service was really really good! I loved that my room, a Second Floor Sea View Double, had a fabulous view. It also featured perfectly placed chairs near the bay window. Such a great spot to enjoy the scenery. The room decor was excellent, and the bed was very comfy.

The lift had a pretty severe jolt when it stopped. It was a bit startling!
