small room budget brand
The breakfast was nice. it offered a good start to my day.
My room was quite small. Getting around the bed was a challenge. The bathroom door did not open fully because the bed blocked it, and the shower head seemed like a BUDGET brand.

Wonderful experience

chocolate theme delicious chocolates poached eggs
I don't normally write reviews, but I had to share my lovely stay. The chocolate theme throughout the room was fun, and the chocolates tasted delicious. Breakfast was great, especially the poached eggs (the best i've ever had!). Leoni greeted us each morning and made it extra special. My son was thrilled to see his name written in chocolate on his pancakes.
Parking proved difficult due to limited space. This resulted in a significant extra charge in a public parking lot near the beach, an unanticipated expense.
