amazing view room upgrade convenient bus
I got a room upgrade to a Beautiful Double or Twin Room Sea View. The views of the sea were AMAZING from my room (especially during sunrise). The bus stop outside made travel to the city center quick.
Finding free parking near the hotel was difficult during peak hours.

a stay with some minor issues

good location nearby restaurants cheap buses small room uncomfortable mattress noise isolation
the hotel has a good location close to the beaches. there are bars and restaurants within walking distance. buses run into the town center quite often, and its cheap to ride them.
the room was really small, it had a strange smell too. the mattress was not comfortable at all. i could hear everything through the walls, there was no noise isolation.

poor isolation inconsistent temperature
The noise isolation was nonexistent. i could hear every conversation and footstep in the hallway, it was awful! the shower wasn't much better. The water pressure fluctuated wildly, and the temperature was never consistent. it was either scalding hot or ice cold. There was no in-between, such fun.
