unexpected gem

cute atmosphere netflix access good breakfast

I was welcomed warmly. my room had netflix already logged in, so i could relax right away. breakfast was a good standard. I really liked it. i also had a side sea view, which i enjoyed a lot!

The hotel could use some updating. It is showing its age in places.
