Comfortable Stay with Great Amenities

convenient front deskfriendly staffgood breakfastgreat location
The front desk operates 24 hours, I found this very convenient. I noticed the staff were friendly and professional. The breakfast was quite good with plenty of choices available. I also liked that the hotel is located near the beach, various restaurants, and popular attractions.
I found only one wall plug in the room, made charging multiple devices a bit inconvenient!

The location was convenient. It allowed easy access to many attractions. The staff was helpful. They assisted with directions. My room had a big windows. It let in lots of light.
The room felt dated. It could use some upgrades. The air conditioning unit was old. It lacked a remote. The bed was quite firm. I did not find it comfortable.

pleasant surprise!

good locationhelpful staffadequate roomsmall rooms
the hotel location proved very handy. it's walkable to the beach and a street filled with shopping options. the staff, especially mary, was indeed helpful with directions. the room was adequate, spacious enough even for three people and felt very clean.
i found the rooms slightly small for extended stays, it seemed like shuffling around was difficult. the promised table from the room photos was missing in my room. a mini fridge would have really helped keep some drinks cool.

the stay began promising with a clean room and decent location close to the beach. however, some issues became apparent. the noise from the street was excessive. the room faced the street, i think, and it was hard to get proper sleep. also, the staff didn't seem bothered when i mentioned it. i was expecting more from this hotel, honestly. i probably wont be back.
