Location
Guest Ratings & Reviews
The hotel's location is convenient, with helpful staff and all-day parking. However, the rooms were run down and filthy, let down by poor cleanliness and maintenance. The breakfast was below expectations, lacking variety and quality.
The hotel's rooms are seriously dated and unclean, with poor bed support and in need of renovation. The price is high for the lack of cleanliness and maintenance provided. Despite these drawbacks, the staff are accommodating and capable of addressing issues independently.
The hotel has a great location, ideal for exploring the area, close to the town center and beach. The rooms are dated and in need of refurbishment, lacking ventilation and with minimal natural light. The service was inconsistent, with unfriendly reception staff at times. The dining experience was subpar with cold and unappetizing food served. On the positive side, it's conveniently located for bus travel and exploring the town, but lacking in hospitality and room comfort.
