ideal location clean room nearby restaurants unfriendly manager slow breakfast missing bar

the location was ideal near the seafront. the room was nicely decorated and very clean. also, there were many bars and restaurants nearby.

The manager was not very friendly. This made us uncomfortable. breakfast took a long time, even though there were few guests. there was no bar in the lounge. this was disappointing, especially with the balcony and view.
