the room was spacious and had a generous-sized bathroom. the decor was modern and up to date! breakfast was included, and it was perfect.

i found long black hairs on and in the bed. the restaurant food menu was very misleading.

mixed experience with some significant letdowns

limited sea viewpoor luggage storage

the room supposed to have a sea view, but it barely offered it. i saw a sliver of water between buildings. staff attitude wasn't stellar either. i arrived a bit early with heavy bags and was told they don't provide storage because they "aren't insured". it left me scrambling for alternatives and starting my stay on a sour note.
