A Satisfactory Stay

The room was clean and it had tea and coffee. I appreciated the hanging space provided for clothes. It was adequate for my weekend stay. The bathroom was clean and well equipped. The shower worked GREAT.

The location was prime. Though the parking was limited. The room was warm. BUT the sound of seagulls right outside was slightly noisy at times.
