The hotel offers a comfortable stay with some drawbacks. The rooms are spacious and cozy, but with furniture from the dumpster. The service is decent but lacking in customer care. The location is convenient, close to the beach but with potential safety concerns. The dining experience includes homemade local products but could be improved. Overall, a mixed bag with both positive and negative aspects.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The accommodation offered clean and comfortable rooms with separate bedrooms, but the furniture seemed a bit outdated. The service, although lacking in customer focus, provided helpful tours and ticket assistance. The location was convenient for leisure walks to the beach and the nearby boardwalk, making it a nice retreat after a long day exploring. The dining experience, which included freshly squeezed juice, was a pleasant surprise. However, the lack of modern amenities impacted the overall comfort and value for money of the facilities.
