shopping areastreet noiseslow breakfast service
The location was close to the sea front and the shopping area was nearby, that was acceptable.
The street parking was not free. It was really hard to find a spot. The room lacked soundproofing, and I could hear street noise late into the night. The breakfast service was also slow. I waited almost 30 minutes for my order.
