The staff's friendly approach, coupled with the welcome package, hints at a genuine effort to engage with guests, and the games room adds a layer of entertainment beyond the usual.

The hotel offers parking in front of the hotel at no cost. The location was great, a short walk to the pier area. The room was super clean and cozy. A wide breakfast selection was available.

The bathroom felt very compact.
