My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were basic but spacious, albeit falling slightly short of expectations. The service had its helpful moments, particularly in the morning, but there were some organizational issues. The location was nice with beautiful features despite some shortcomings, and the dining experience was a bit chaotic but had a decent selection. Overall, there were aspects to appreciate alongside areas that could be improved.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The room was clean and comfy, but there were some issues like a badly stained ceiling and a dim bathroom. The staff worked hard to ensure everyone was taken care of, but their approach was a bit defensive, especially when it came to parking. The location was excellent, right on the promenade facing the sea, but the 2 bases not matching could be a downside. The dining experience was delightful with plenty of choices, but there were moments of staff rudeness. Overall, a decent stay with room for improvement.

The hotel is conveniently located right next to the main shopping area and promenade, making it great for town center access. The rooms were extremely dated, with issues like an old and very worn mattress, dirty black pillow, and signs of mold. The hotel's service was a mix of untrained staff but excellent management that was cheerful, pleasant, and very helpful. The dining experience was pleasant, with delicious meals and friendly staff. However, the lack of free parking was a downside.

The hotel had a cold and outdated feel, needing refurbishment. The room was too hot near the shower and overall not worth the price paid. Despite the disappointing room, the hotel's location was excellent for activities with my grandson.
