central location fresh air mid-range price easy check-in

the location was central. it was perfect for accessing local shops, pubs, and the beach directly behind the hotel? what more could i ask for! the breakfast was delicious, and the ladies serving it were a breath of fresh air.

on arrival, check-in was easy. the room looked clean enough, though the cost of the room was in the mid-range price, i expected everything to work correctly. we went for a walk and had dinner, then went to bed.
