central location and hearty meals
central locationhearty mealssmooth serviceconfusing building
The hotel was located centrally! to the town, right on the promenade. i appreciated the hearty meals. The pre-ordered breakfast was included. dinners offered a choice of two to three courses, with each course having two to three options. everything ran smoothly.
The family room was too hot. And the views faced a brick wall at the back of the building. navigating the building to and from the room was confusing! though the location was perfect.

The room was large. It was also well furnished. Breakfast had many choices. It was very tasty.
I found the breakfast to be excellent with much choice. The beds provided good comfort. The bathroom had a super clean clean appearance I thought.
I noticed parking was quite difficult with limited options nearby. I had to walk a fair distance from the nearest available spot. It was about 500 meters to the hotel which was an inconvenience with luggage.
