the shower had some tiles with black grouting. the sliding door showed orange rust. this indicated that the bathroom required better upkeep.

The breakfast had a good selection of items. The location was close to the beach. The staff I spoke with was friendly and also polite.
The shower was small and the water pressure was low. There was no air conditioning in my room, so the room was warm. I had to wait for a parking space one evening.

a romantic getaway

the breakfast included parking, it was very convenient. the building has character and the staff were nice. the room was a great size and very smooth service was delivered, i'm sure breakfast would have been lovely, but i kept it to light bites before a half marathon!
the room was quite basic. it felt vintage at the same time. it was okay but not very cute, it was really quite expensive for what i got.
