I was pleased to see improvements to the area in front of the hotel and walkway to the marina, it felt safer at night. the marina has seen improvements. It. the location was superb.
My room was small. It lacked a kettle. breakfast felt rushed, staff began clearing plates promptly at 10:30 am. the air conditioning barely cooled the room, even when overnight temperatures reached 23 degrees.

Acceptable Hotel Stay

beach accessbreakfast selectionsmall gymsafe charge
The hotel's location proved useful. It was close to the beach, so access was easy. The breakfast offered a good selection. I did like the variety available each morning.
The gym was small. It was hard to get a workout in. I also noticed the hotel charged for the safe. I thought this should be a free amenity.
