Reviews and Ratings
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were nice and comfortable, but some areas felt smelly and outdated. The full kitchen suite was a plus, but the room facing the parking area was a downside.
I absolutely loved my stay at the hotel! The location was perfect, just a short walk to the beach and in a quiet area that's not far from downtown. The rooms were clean and comfortable, although they could use a bit of updating. The service was exceptional, with staff who tried their best to address any issues. The dining experience was delightful, especially with the homemade waffles served. The facilities were well-maintained, and I appreciated the effort to provide more than just a standard accommodation experience.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of comfort and noise. The rooms were clean and the bed was super comfy, but the location next to the terrace made for an early wake-up call due to breakfast noise. On the bright side, being just a block away from the beach provided a peaceful setting with a refreshing sea breeze.
My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The rooms, although spacious and well-appointed, were noisy due to their proximity to the terrace used for breakfast. The service was a bit lacking in attentiveness but did manage to handle remote check-ins effectively. The location, just a street away from the beach, was peaceful and convenient. The dining experience was average with pre-packed options. Overall, a mix of positive and negative aspects to consider.
Staying at this hotel was a wonderful experience overall. The rooms were spacious and very homey, complete with a fireplace and kitchen, making it feel like a home away from home. The cleanliness and comfort were top-notch, although having air conditioning would have been a great addition. The service was exceptional, with the staff going out of their way to make my stay enjoyable. The location was perfect, just a short distance from the beach and placed in a quiet area that's still convenient to explore the surroundings. On the downside, the dining options were limited, resembling a bad supermarket, offering only basic microwaved food. Despite this, the simple but fulfilling meals met my needs. The facilities were fine, matching the requirements for a comfortable stay.
I couldn't have been happier with my stay at this hotel! The room was surprisingly spacious and had everything we needed, including a full kitchen, which was a pleasant surprise. The ground floor location made access easy, and the modern and clean design added to the comfortable experience. However, it did get a bit loud in the morning with the maintenance activities nearby.
