The lobby has beautiful presentation and a pleasant smell. The complimentary bike hire was appreciated. I received a generous room upgrade and this elevated my experience. The staff was great. I found the location close to the beach and shops.
I heard sawing and drilling. I did mention it, and the work started later on the second morning.
