convenient location for exploring

friendly staff convenient check-in water view on-site parking
This accommodation is close to the town center. the desk staff offered a friendly welcome. our triple room included a view of the water. I liked that. on-site parking proved very helpful, despite the limited number of spaces available.
The bed felt a little small for two adults. It also had a noticeably uncomfortable mattress.

i found a major inconvenience . my room did not have an en-suite bathroom. i had to walk across a public hallway to access a 'private' bathroom. this setup was far from ideal and quite disappointing.
