A SERENE Seaside Stay

breakfast varietyconvenient bathroombeautiful garden
The breakfast offered AMAZING variety, with options like cheese and cereals available. I found the shared bathroom convenient because a sink and mirror were present in my room. I also enjoyed the small garden with a koi fish pond just off the breakfast room.
The cleanliness could improve with a deeper cleaning and some fresh paint.

the room was spacious enough for my needs.
I found some cleanliness issues. there was dust in the room, and i noticed some hair (it wasn't mine, i assure you!). also, the shared bathroom was not as clean as i would have liked. The hygiene level of some other guests was questionable.

I found the location quite convenient, near a beach area i enjoy visiting. I was pleased to discover a kitchen area, which helped reduce dining expenses. our room included a sink and tea and coffee making facilities, that was quite nice. the manager was also helpful.
the shared bathroom, though clean, required consideration of other guests' schedules, slightly inconvenient.
