Reviews and Ratings
The hotel room I stayed in was a bit worn out and in need of redecoration, located at the back of the hotel. However, it was quite basic, although the furniture was outdated. The service provided by the reception staff was pleasant, efficient, and friendly. The location was good, meeting my expectations and being close to amenities and a little beach. The dining experience I had during my stay was below expectations but improved after the first day. Overall, the hotel was a decent choice for the price paid.
The hotel rooms were uncomfortably warm even in October, filled with a coach party and reeked of cigarette smoke, making the stay unpleasant. However, the service was friendly and accommodating, and the location provided easy access to the harbor and town center. The dining experience left much to be desired with poor-quality food and restrictive dining hours.
