Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is conveniently located in town with coastal views but can be noisy at night. The rooms, although cozy, could benefit from some upgrades. The service was friendly but lacking in responsiveness at times. The dining options are good, with easy access to nearby restaurants, and the hotel is budget-friendly.
I found the hotel to be clean and warm, offering ample room for my luggage and food. However, there was a lack of furniture like a chair, table, or bench in the room. I also appreciated the outdoor smoking area.
