    My friend and I stayed for 4 nights and were very happy with the accommodation, service and food. I would go there again

    Good value for money

    Lift doors extremely hard for disabled people to open. Steps into hotel means asking for help if using a walker

    good location but basic amenities

    The proximity to key attractions was excellent. Staff were attentive and the entertainment in the evenings was enjoyable and engaging.

    The room amenities didn't meet my expectations, feeling quite basic.

    Charming yet Comfortable Stay

    Enjoyed a peaceful night in a quaint twin room. The staff were attentive, especially during meals. The menu had a good twist but could offer more basics. A tip, if you're uncomfortable with stairs, consider requesting a lower floor room to avoid the climb!

    great location and vibes

    The staff were super friendly. Rooms were clean and cozy, and the bar was a nice chill spot after a long day. The only thing? It got a bit too warm at night even with the fan. Still, the location's perfect for hitting the beach!

    An Enjoyable Weekend Getaway

    Despite the entertainment ending earlier than desired, we appreciated the thoughtful touch of having a bottle of wine. The staff were cute, and the nearby restaurants offered wonderful dining experiences. Remember to check parking permits upon arrival!
