Excellent Stay with Great Staff

friendly staff clean room

The staff was very friendly, especially Alex. He was super helpful with all my requests. The room was clean. The breakfast buffet had a lovely selection (I especially loved the pastries!).

The shower tended to flood easily. The bathroom practically turned into a wet room after each use. I had to dry the floor with the only available towel.

Location

The hotel's location allows for a short walk to the pier area. This made accessing local attractions very convenient. Getting around was easy, and it saved on transportation costs.

Rooms

The room provided had a comfortable bed and a clean environment. There was also a coffee maker (very grateful for my morning brew!). The room size was adequate, even with two beds.
