The hotel has a great location, very close to the beach and tons of restaurants. The rooms are beautifully decorated and cozy, but there's one room that needs a new bed. The staff is warm and welcoming, though some noise from cleaning in the morning. The dining options are basic but adequate, and the hotel's facilities are nice.

I loved the amenities in the room, very comfortable and nicely decorated. However, one room needs a new bed as it sags in the middle.

The dining experience was okay, with basic options like sausage and bacon cooked in the microwave. It was a bit awkward to have a worker pick everything for us.

The hotel's location is convenient for beach and restaurant access, making it ideal for walking to various dining and shopping options. The rooms were on the main floor, but unfortunately, they were damp and potentially moldy, emitting a musty or animal-like smell at times. However, the service provided was nice, helpful, and efficient, adding a positive touch to the stay. The dining experience was average, lacking variety and quality for the price paid. Overall, while the location is excellent, the room condition could be a drawback to consider.

I had a pleasant stay at the hotel. The rooms were very clean and comfortable, though my room, 118, was located next to the elevator, leading to some noise and a musty smell. The service was exceptional, especially the hard-working cleaning and breakfast staff. The location was perfect for beach access and walking to nearby eateries. The dining experience, while simple, was convenient for daily beach outings.
