Reviews and Ratings
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms, although basic for a 'superior' category, were clean and bright but lacked soundproofing, making it noisy at times. The service was friendly and helpful, although efficiency was a bit lacking. The location was beautiful with ocean views but had some public noise during the day. The dining options were limited, and the facilities were decent overall.
The hotel is conveniently located by the beach and offers nice service, but the rooms could use some improvements in terms of noise insulation. The dining options are limited, yet the service is friendly and helpful.
The hotel is nestled in a quiet neighborhood, offering a cozy, beautiful stay with friendly and helpful service. The rooms are silent, comfortable, and overlook the local homes and car park. However, the dining options need more variety. A great value for a peaceful retreat close to the beach.
