long walkmisleading listing
The location seemed great near the sea, but it was a longer walk to the town center than I would have liked. I was also disappointed that breakfast was listed as included. there was no breakfast available . The manager mentioned I could not book it anyway, made the listing misleading. Finding a nearby place for breakfast proved difficult.
