A Pleasant Stay Near the Beach

beach location outdoor deck secure parking small room old furniture limited offer
The hotel's location is certainly a highlight as it is close to the beach. The outdoor deck area was a really cool space. Secure off street parking was available, which I found very useful.
My room was quite small , and the furniture looked old. The streaming service, Netflix, was not working. The leisure offers were somewhat limited , with only a small swimming pool available.
