The hotel has a lot going for it with its pristine and modern decor, along with cozy rooms that add to a relaxing atmosphere. I really appreciated the friendly service, which made my stay enjoyable. However, I did find some drawbacks; the dining options for breakfast could use more variety. Lastly, while it was a nice place overall, I think the value for money could improve given the extra charges for parking and Wi-Fi.

My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant overall. The rooms were notable for their cleanliness and comfort, and I appreciated the friendly vibe from the staff. Unfortunately, the dining options left something to be desired, particularly at breakfast. The facilities were nice, especially the pool, making it a restful retreat, but Wi-Fi access was not complimentary, which felt a bit inconvenient.

My stay at this hotel was quite pleasant overall. The rooms were well-kept and comfortable, and the staff made me feel welcome. On the downside, the breakfast could definitely use some more variety, and while the pool was nice, it could use a little more maintenance. The price was fair, though Wi-Fi was an added cost, which was a bit frustrating.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The room was clean and quite comfortable, which I really appreciated. The staff was generally friendly, but there were some hiccups in service that took away from the experience. The location is convenient and offers easy access to local attractions, but the dining options could use improvement, particularly the breakfast. Overall, I found it decent for the price, but there are definitely areas that could be enhanced.

My stay at this hotel had its ups and downs. The location was fantastic, being just a short walk from the beach, which made my trips to the shore really enjoyable. The rooms were clean and provided a good level of comfort, but I felt the service could use some improvement. I was also a bit underwhelmed by the breakfast options available, as they were quite limited. On the bright side, the amenities such as the pool were well taken care of, providing a refreshing escape. Overall, it offered decent value for money, but some areas could enhance the experience.
