The room was nice, but it smelled damp. I guess it's because it's been there for a long time! It's very convenient to go to the beach. The kids like the American breakfast very much. Parking is free. We just need to park the car at the door. When we check in, we can get a card by giving her the car key. When we go out, we can show her the card and get the car. This is great. The kids like it here and said they will stay here next time.
