great value stay near the beach!!!

fantastic locationearly check-inclean roomsingle-pane window

the location was fantastic, only a short walk to the beach and local restaurants. i arrived early, and they let me check in right away, awesome. the room was super clean and had everything i needed for a quick trip. i really enjoyed my visit!

The room had single-pane windows, so it was a bit chilly at night. An extra blanket would be great.

Decent stay near the beach

good locationbeach accessreasonable pricepoor pressureshower problemdated hotel

The hotel has a very good location. The beach is very close. It is only one hundred meters. The price related to location are great. I had a nice weekend because the price was reasonable.

The shower was disappointing. It had poor pressure. I could not get it to the right temperature. The hotel seemed a little old. It needed some modernizing.
