Acceptable Hotel Experience

beach locationsea viewparking machinehotel bill
The location is directly on the beach. I enjoyed a Balcony Room that included a balcony with a sea view. It was fine!!!
I had some issues with the parking machine. The hotel did not offer to pay for my parking and add it to my bill. This was inconvenient.
