adequate location, substandard experience
unstable bedexpensive parking
the room had some significant issues. the bed seemed unstable and made loud noises with minimal movement. the sink lacked a plug, so washing was difficult, and the hot water tap barely worked. i reported this to the reception, but the lady seemed unconcerned, implying the shower should suffice. this was not an acceptable response considering the room rate. the parking was also tight and expensive. it was an additional, unwelcome charge.

The suite was spacious. It accommodated my needs perfectly. The provided toiletries were a welcome touch after a day out, and i found them quite useful. I also appreciated the inclusion of a hairdryer in the room.

Great Stay Steps from the Beach
amazing locationcomfortable roomspacious layouthelpful staff
The location was amazing. I could walk to the beach in just minutes. The parking was convenient, though a bit tight. I appreciated having a comfortable room with a spacious layout. The staff allowed us to leave our bags after checkout since we had a late flight. I would stay here again. The room was quiet. The location suited me well.
The air conditioner wasn't very powerful, so the room took some time to cool down.
