“In my opinion, this hotel's prime location and sea views are undeniable assets, though some aspects require attention. I noted mentions of staff friendliness, but also concerns about cleanliness and dated rooms, which could impact the overall experience. For me, the mix of positive and negative feedback suggests a property with unrealized potential.”
