What a wonderful gem! The hotel offers stunning views of the bridge and is right on the beach. The rooms are cozy and clean, and the staff is very accommodating. The dining experience with their hot waffles is a real treat. However, the service could be improved in some areas and the price might not be the most budget-friendly.
