Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Arne’s place is a basic, but clean and convenient place to stay. They claim to have beach view, but they don’t as there is a building in front of the place that takes up the view. But it is still very close to the beach and an all the beach restaurants. Friendly and helpful staff. I absolutely recommend Arne’sPlace!
