Solid Beach Stay
beach accesscoffee shoplounge chairsroom size
The location worked out well. Beach access exists close to the market. I found a coffee shop and restaurant on the premises. The staff assisted me with an early checkin. I did not even request this service. The outside bar provided good service. The availability of lounge chairs proved useful. The staff even set them up. Lots of USB ports exist for charging devices in the room. The hotel had a super clean look. The location is great. The beds provided comfort. Friendly staff was always accommodating. I was happy with our room size. Everything looked clean. The location turned out perfect for us. Being outside the city center. I appreciated this benefit.
The registration desk sat across the street from the room. This setup seemed quite inconvenient.
