admiring sea view stay
motorcycle parkingsea viewspacious dining roompiecemeal decor
the staff permitted motorcycle parking behind the building upon my arrival. my room on the second floor offered a wonderful view. the dining area presented a spacious setting overlooking the sea during breakfast.
the room's decor looked somewhat piecemeal, with an old carpet piece obscuring a decaying window ledge. an old sock rested atop this, and a plug socket was loose. i believe improvements here would benefit future guests.

the staff was very helpful. i could leave my bags after checking out to explore without being encumbered. there was also a non-smoking area outside (which i really needed).
the bedroom carpet had a large hole. it also looked quite dirty. the room door did not fit the frame properly and the door lock seemed insecure.

The staff was very friendly and helpful! my room was super clean, i loved that parking was easy on a side street. I did not have to pay. it was a very enjoyable stay, i look forward to visiting next year!
The room was very hot, and the window opened onto a fire exit stairway accessible by the public. no fans were available for cooling the room. I found this to be quite inconvenient.
