Pleasant solo stay close to the beach!

Nice, updated rooms and pretty courtyard. The staff was very accommodating as well! There aren’t any rooms with two beds if you’re looking for that but if only one is needed, it’s great!

The room was bare and the floor was dirty. There were no side lamps and the curtain was not fully covering the window so a bright light was shining inside during the night and there was little privacy. The staff was unfriendly.

NEEDS TO BE CLOSED

There were food, dirt and blood stains on the wall and mattress. The shower was dirty, as well as the bathroom itself. Floor had not been swept. Front desk attendant was rude. Outlets were covered in filth. Shower and bathroom door would not close. Towels had stains on them. We had to resort to buying our own bed set in order to sleep and remained walking in shoes.
