While some areas could use updating, its location and community atmosphere make it a worthwhile consideration.”

a mixed experience with some drawbacks.

The bathroom cleanliness was a major issue. The shower tray had dirty water bubbling up with a terrible smell. i also found that the bar was unattended and the lounge was empty. there was a musty smell throughout the hotel. the reception staff didn't seem interested in my stay when i checked out. there was a communication barrier.

i found the room quite spacious. large windows gave a great view toward the beach. the hotel provided good quality linen, especially the towels were soft.

I noticed some hairs on the bathroom carpet. A more thorough cleaning would improve the experience.

The bathroom cleanliness was a major issue. the shower area was not clean, and there was a really bad smell coming from the drain. i also found the lack of working usb ports by the bed frustrating. It was difficult to charge my phone.
