Room not available at arrival

My reserved and confirmed room was not available because another guest did not check out. They made arrangements for me to stay at an apartment/hotel about 1/3 mile away. New room was fine and proprietors there were very nice (Sea View Apartments). But, a hassle since parking is so hard to find and spent lots of time corcling to try to find oarking spot near first place. The lady at the desk was accommodating, the boss who had to take me to second place was i diffetent at best.

Chambre agréable, proche de la plage

Juste en face d'une jolie plage, une piscine agréable en bas. La chambre spacieuse, avec une jolie terrasse, tout nouveau, propre. Une vingtaine de minutes de la vieille ville, mais en longeant la plage une promenade très agréable.
