I had a mixed experience at this hotel. On the plus side, the rooms were spacious and had a beautiful ocean view, which was a highlight for me. The service staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, which made a big difference. However, the noise and smell coming from the nearby laundry room really detracted from the comfort during my stay. The breakfast options were also lacking, making it feel like a missed opportunity for a better start to the day.

The room was spacious, updated, and had a great view of the ocean, but unfortunately, it was right next to the laundry room, which resulted in a lot of noise and odor.

I recently stayed at this hotel and found it to be a pretty nice place overall. The rooms were lovely and clean, exactly as depicted in the pictures. I appreciated the friendly staff, who were very accommodating. However, the dining options were just okay, and I felt the room could have offered a bit more counter space. Still, it's a great value for money considering its proximity to the beach.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The location is absolutely stunning, right on the ocean and perfect for beach access. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the staff was friendly too, which made things pleasant. On the downside, the dining options were somewhat limited, and I encountered an instance of rude service at check-in, which was disappointing.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. While the location was convenient and offered a great view of the ocean, the rooms were quite small and uncomfortable, and I noticed some cleanliness issues like mold in the shower. The staff was friendly and helpful, which added a positive touch to my stay, but the dining options were a letdown. Overall, for the price, I expected better quality in the rooms.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. On one hand, the location is fantastic, just a short walk to the beach, and the staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. However, the rooms felt a bit outdated and could use some freshening up. The dining experience was not great and didn't meet my expectations at all, and the noise from the nearby road was somewhat disruptive for a good night's sleep.

Rooms

6.0

The rooms seemed a bit tired, with nothing hanging on the walls, and I noticed lingering odors from previous occupants. They were on the small side with the sink outside the bathroom, but I appreciated having some ocean views from my room.

Service

9.0

The staff was very friendly and offered to help me whenever I needed. They even took the time to walk me through using the in-room DVD player, which I really appreciated. They also called ahead to confirm my late arrival and to check if I needed room cleaning, which was thoughtful.

Location

7.0

The hotel's location was just off the beach, making it convenient for quick access. However, I could hear the cars whizzing by, which made it difficult to sleep at night.

Dining

5.0

Dining was a letdown. The breakfast options were limited to a grab-and-go bag with warm yogurt, vacuum-packed fruit, and a cereal bar, which I found quite disappointing. It wasn’t worth the walk to reception to collect.

Facilities

5.0

The facilities felt average and could certainly be improved to enhance the overall experience.
