I had a pleasant stay at this hotel, which is located in a fantastic spot close to the water. The rooms were clean and well-maintained but could use a little more furniture for convenience. The staff was friendly and very helpful, which made my experience enjoyable. The dining options were okay but could definitely be improved. Overall, great value for money considering the location and service.
