Convenient Location and Functional Amenities

convenient locationspacious roomfree e-bike
I found the hotel very close to the pier. Beach town shopping is a short walk. The room itself was spacious. I appreciated the e-bike rental, and the first hour was FREE. I enjoyed a tour along the beach.
It was also small. This became annoying being on a higher floor.
