My stay at this hotel was absolutely delightful! The rooms were beautiful and well-equipped, spacious, and incredibly comfortable.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms, while basic in facilities, offered comfortable beds and a modern, clean bathroom. The seafront-facing room provided a lovely view to wake up to, making it a decent value for a business trip but lacking for a leisure stay with friends or a partner.
