10/10 Exceptional

I didn't think I was going to like this accommodation, because I normally don't stay in motels. However, my teenage daughter and I were comfortable and had everything we needed, including a kitchenette and laundry. Check-in and check-out were easy. The beach, a park, and the city center were walkable distances. Although we didn't eat there, there was an on-site restaurant, which is very convenient. We were pleasantly surprised with our stay.
