A Charming Stay Near the Coast

super clean roombathroom essentialsgreat breakfasttea facilities
The room was super clean, with everything provided. I found shampoo, conditioner, and body wash readily available, very thoughtful. There were kettle and tea and coffee facilities in the room. I also had an ironing board, iron, and hairdryer. The smart TV was very large and lovely! I enjoyed the breakfast very much. It was cooked perfectly.
The en-suite lacked ventilation, so I experienced some unpleasant smells coming from the toilet and sink. It took a while to get rid of the odor. In the room, you can find some dust.
