Charming Stay Near the Harbour
well-equipped roomample teaworking showercentral location
I found the triple room surprisingly well-equipped for its price. There was ample tea, coffee, and milk, a nice touch. The shower worked well, and having two televisions, one in the main room and one by the single bed, was good. The location was really central and very close to the beach.
I noticed the bathroom floor needed a bit more cleaning attention.
Rooms

The room included a double bed and a single bed, perfect for my small family. I noticed a television was available both in the main living area and near the single bed, convenient. Basic toiletries was provided, too.
