convenient location short walk sea view
The location was very convenient. It was a short walk to the station and bus stops. I appreciated the beautiful sea view from my room (it faced the water!). The bar and lounge area offered comfortable seating.
The parking area was quite tight. Maneuvering within the parking area needed extra care.
