underwhelmed experience

friendly staffbasic servicedisappointing feel
the staff were friendly enough and gave us the basics.
i expected a bit more for the price we paid, but i feel disappointed. it felt more like a standard bed and breakfast, not the boutique experience i hoped for. while the staff were pleasant, the service didnt particularly stand out. i also missed the option to just help myself to cereal at breakfast.

Splendid Stay at a Charming Place

renovated roomclean decorationcentral locationadvance parking
The room was recently renovated and spotlessly clean. It had beautiful decorations. The location is so close to the town and seafront. They offer parking that requires advance reservation, though, that was useful.
My expectations were high, and the service didn't stand out as I read in other reviews. It reminded me of a standard bed and breakfast.
