Breakfast was plentiful. The hotel uses well-cooked quality produce. The evening meals came from a daily changing menu. I highly recommend them. It was delicious.
Location

The location is premium for accessing the town center. I could easily reach the beach and other sights. It is right across the road from the tram. This leads down to the beachfront, very practical.

Acceptable, but Some Cleaning Issues
convenient locationsticky spotssubpar mattress
The hotel location proved quite convenient.
My room was as if it had not received a thorough cleaning. I noticed sticky spots on the dresser, and toothpaste marred the bathroom tiles. This resulted in finding someone else's toothpaste on my pajamas from the sink. The mattress quality was subpar because I felt the springs through it.

The hotel looks a bit tired from the outside. corridors on my floor needed decorating. the inside of my room was no better and it was badly decorated. I saw low quality, cheap tea and coffee in the room.
