The hotel had a great location near the beach. Free parking was available with a permit from reception, and disabled bays are located very close to the entrance. Breakfast was good and there was a nice selection on the continental buffet with dairy-free options upon request. The staff in the breakfast room was very kind.
Some of the windows were difficult to open, I could only manage to open one.
