The location was near the seafront. It was only a short walk. the room had tea and coffee making facilities, a kettle, and an espresso machine. the hosts provided an e-brochure with recommendations for nearby places to eat and drink. Some offered discounts.

The room was facing the street, and i could hear some noise from outside. the room did not have air conditioning, and it was a bit warm during the day. the parking was not directly at the hotel. I had to park a short distance away.
