Solid stay with a view!
room sizebreakfast pancakesconvenient locationroom cleanliness
The room size was a real benefit. It gave me plenty of space to relax after a long day (the balcony enhanced this sense of freedom). i discovered , made-to-order pancakes were available for breakfast. They were really great. the location is amazing. It's a great spot for seeing the local sights. I'll consider another stay.
I noticed that the room could have used a more thorough cleaning. Finding a half-empty wine bottle behind the curtain was not ideal. i hope the hotel can address this aspect .

Seaside Getaway, A Solid Choice

My room was spacious, especially compared to similar hotels. The hotel's location is quite central and convenient. I particularly enjoyed the lemon water available in the lobby. A nice touch. The staff were friendly and efficient at all times .
The bar service felt a bit slow during peak times.
