Great stay with AMAZING breakfast!

polite staff professional staff ground floor indoor pool
The staff was very polite and professional. General staff were friendly and catered to everyone's needs. I had a room on the ground floor at my request. It was larger and well-decorated with a double bed. The indoor pool was a great bonus for a relaxing swim.
The hotel is located at the end of the promenade, so the walk to the town center is a bit long.

outdated room soft beds
The room was REALLY outdated. The shower curtain desperately needed replacing. It was quite disgusting. The shower head was fixed to the wall making it difficult to use. The beds were SO soft. I could feel every spring. I also heard an Indian man talking loudly on his phone at 4 AM for hours.
