Reviews and Ratings
I had a nice stay at this hotel. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and a short walk to local attractions where I met up with my friends. However, the strong fragrance was a bit overwhelming, so we had to turn on the fan/ac and go for lunch. The fresh paint smell was noticeable but not uncomfortable. The room was well-maintained, with lots of pillows, and the refrigerator/freezer temperature was perfect.
I really enjoyed my stay at this hotel. The rooms were spotless and surprisingly spacious, allowing us to bring in our bikes without any hassle. The service was friendly and accommodating, although there were some issues with the listed prices. The location was excellent, within walking distance to the beach and various attractions. The dining options were a mix of good and disappointing experiences, and the facilities were being improved.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms need renovation and are small, but I appreciated the efforts to maintain a comfortable and relatively quiet environment. The service was friendly but lacked consistency. The location was fantastic, making it convenient to access various attractions. The dining options were limited and could be improved.
The hotel has a great location, close to many restaurants and shops. The rooms, although older, have been reconditioned and were very clean. The service was informative and pleasant. However, the dining options were disappointing. Overall, a good value for money choice.
