Sea View Room a Treat

massive spacesea viewclassy bathtubsecure parking
The room had a massive space. A proper sea view through a big bay window existed. The bathroom included a shower plus a classy bathtub. The car park was quite large and secure, a big benefit. I was allowed to keep my car there the whole day even after checking out.
Coffee and tea in rooms tasted awful, like water.

I didn't eat there so I can't comment on the food. A continental style breakfast was available, but it was somewhat quirky. No other food existed, but local restaurants were close.
