Absolutely Fantastic Location I Would Say!
comfortable bedshelpful staffconvenient parking
This hotel is close to the beach and the shops! The staff was helpful. The rooms included comfortable beds! I also liked the parking options they provided.
I have to mention the television was very small. It could have been a bit bigger, but it did not affect my enjoyment of my stay.
Service
9/10
The staff helped with directions and provided recommendations for nearby restaurants. Check-in was fast, and the front desk was available 24/7, which I appreciated because my flight was delayed. I received assistance with luggage upon arrival.
Location
10/10
This hotel is near many restaurants. It is a short walk to the beach. The area felt safe and was well-lit at night. I enjoyed being so close to local attractions.

good locationold decorextra charges
The location was alright. It was close to some restaurants.
The room wasn't great. The old decor was really disappointing. there wasn't even a bottle of water. the cleaning wasn't done for two nights, pretty annoying, the hotel charged extra for some supposed new taxes.

The location was great! it was an easy walk to many shops and restaurants. the staff seemed friendly and helpful each time i interacted with them. i also liked that there were filtered water stations available. It's a small thing, though i appreciated it.
the shower temperature fluctuated quite a bit! it went from hot to cold suddenly. it was a bit annoying.
