Acceptable Stay Near the Beach

lovely sea view ample cupboard space convenient tram stop limited continental breakfast insufficient lighting full english breakfast
The room provided a lovely sea view. I found ample hanging and cupboard space. The tram stop across from the accommodation was very convenient.
The continental breakfast was quite limited. I found out later I could have paid extra for a full English breakfast. My room lacked sufficient lighting. It was particularly difficult to use the kettle at night.
