charming getaway near the sea

bus connectioncomfy pillowexpensive space

This hotel is close to the beach. Bus connections are also nearby. the beds offer comfort with nice pillows. i noticed the new management has a vision for improvement, it shows. i found the accommodation had a nice community vibe.

i asked for a parking permit via email, but i received no response. when i called, i was told i would get details, but nothing arrived. i ended up buying an expensive parking space.
