lovely, bright room!

high ceiling big window new shower
the room was lovely! it was bright with a high ceiling and big windows. the ensuite bathroom was newly done and the shower worked great. the owner seemed personable? and i plan to return on future trips.
i got phone calls asking how far away i was when stuck in terrible traffic.. late check-ins are not allowed. upon arrival, i was told not to bring smelly food into the room, when i had just arrived after traveling. this made me feel a bit unwelcome

fantastic room and location

bright room big windows
The room was very tidy (i loved the high ceiling and big windows). the ensuite bathroom looked newly done. The shower was really good. i made sure to book through their website. It gave me the best prices.
I was asked a few times how far away i was when i was stuck in really bad traffic. they do not accommodate late check-ins. i was informed on arrival not to bring hot food into the room. I had just arrived after traveling and was tired.
Rooms

the room included a very comfy bed with soft, pure white towels for use, and i found the room immaculate and clean during my entire stay there. the modern bathroom was particularly appreciated for its cleanliness and updated fixtures.
Dining
8/10
i found i was told on arrival not to bring hot food into the room, which i felt was a fair rule to ensure no disturbances to other guests, so i planned accordingly for my meals . there are many restaurants and cafes nearby (all within walking distance, actually) where you can get various food options.
Facilities
9/10
The location of this place is great. It is only a five minute walk to the beach. street parking is available (purchasing a parking ticket from the owner is definitely worth it). the staff are very polite and happy to help with anything.

Acceptable Stay

comfortable bed great location difficult parking small shower room extra cost
The bed was really comfortable. The location was great. A short walk got me to the beach.
Parking was difficult. I suspect this is a general problem in the area. The shower room was very small. I paid extra for a twin room that I believed I had already booked.
