A pleasant experience with minor issues

clean roomcomfortable bedsmall tabletasteless fish
I appreciated the location. It was close to the beach. Our room was clean. The bed was comfortable, I think.
Food ordering wasn't a smooth process. I felt limited by the small table availability. The fish was okay, but it lacked some taste. I expected more chips with my order.

I found the hotel to be a great place right by the sea! The room I had was lovely and it had a big, warm, very comfortable bed. Every member of staff was pleasant. they were very helpful too.
I noticed that the dinner menu had some items missing. The selection seemed limited. There also looked to be insufficient room for seating in areas away from the busy waiter traffic.
