My stay at the hotel was fantastic! It's located right near the beach and close to many restaurants. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the staff was incredibly friendly. The only downside was the limited breakfast options. The pool area was well-maintained and enjoyable. The price was reasonable, but the Wi-Fi had an extra charge.

The hotel exceeded my expectations with its incredible location, fantastic staff, and overall pleasant experience. While the dining options were somewhat limited, the clean and comfy rooms and well-maintained pool area made up for it. The price was reasonable, but the separate Wi-Fi charge was a minor inconvenience.

The hotel had a convenient location near the city center but suffered from noisy surroundings and an unimpressive breakfast offering. The rooms were cozy and spacious, creating a comfortable stay. The service was friendly but lacked promptness at times. On the bright side, the hotel provided good value for money with free Wi-Fi and parking.
