Reviews and Ratings
I had a delightful stay at the hotel, with its clean and comfortable atmosphere. The location was perfect, just a short walk to the beach, and the staff made me feel really welcome. However, I found the breakfast options a bit lacking, and the amenities could use a bit of an upgrade. Overall, it was a good value for the money, but some improvements would have made it even better.

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel, which offered clean and comfortable accommodations. The staff was incredibly friendly and always ready to help. The location was perfect, close to the beach and local attractions. However, the dining experience left something to be desired as there weren't many breakfast choices. Overall, it was a great value for the price, though I wish Wi-Fi was included rather than an extra charge.
