I had a great experience at this hotel, especially with how clean and comfortable everything was. The staff were really helpful and likeable, and the location was perfect for accessing the beach. However, I found the breakfast options a little lacking, and the Wi-Fi not being included was a minor downside. Overall, I thought it offered good value for money.

The hotel is situated in a lovely area with easy access to the beach and nearby amenities. The rooms are modern and spacious, providing a comfortable stay. However, the breakfast could use some variety, and while the staff is pleasant, the service can be a bit slow during peak hours. Overall, it's a decent place if you're looking for comfort and convenience at a fair price.
