Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is located close to the beach and downtown, offering a convenient spot near various attractions. The rooms were not very clean, and some amenities like the TV remote were lacking. However, the unique room designs stood out. It's disappointing that the online pictures are misleading about the ocean view.
I truly felt at home in this cozy hotel room, even though it was not huge, it provided a warm and comfortable stay. However, the lack of a window and real door were minor downsides.
I stayed at this hotel that had a few good points like being on a main road to the center and having a quiet atmosphere. However, there were major drawbacks including noisy surroundings, lack of privacy due to strange bathroom arrangement, and the overall value not matching up to the cost paid.
