Charming Stay Near the Action

convenient locationshort walkfriendly staffunpleasant smell

The location was convenient. I walked to both the beach and the train station. Amazing restaurants were only a short walk away. The staff was friendly and helpful with directions.

The bathroom had an unpleasant smell coming from the drain. The noise was constant and somewhat distracting.
