It may have just been the July 4th holiday so it was super busy but I feel it cost a lot for what it was. The hotel needs updating the pool looks dirty and the free bikes to rent have seen much better days. The hotel allows dog which is great but unfortunately the dog next door barked non stop in the morning. I would say it’s great for families with younger children - they have games and plenty space. The location was great and very central.

Disappointing Stay – Would Not Return

We had a very disappointing experience at this hotel. From the moment we arrived, the service was cold and impersonal. Staff barely acknowledged us, and any interaction felt like an inconvenience to them. The cleanliness throughout the property was lacking. The elevator was dirty and visibly scratched up, setting a poor tone early on. While the rooms appear to have had some decor updates, they were not clean. The windows were so stained with sea spray that we couldn’t see through them, and there were black fingerprints all over the glass. The screen was bent and held together with electrical tape — very unprofessional. The biggest issue was the bed. When we checked it, we found the mattress cover full of pet hair, human hair, and other debris. It was extremely off-putting and made us question the overall hygiene standards of the hotel. Breakfast was another letdown. While they offered a variety of options, everything lacked freshness, and there were very few gluten-free choices available. It was, unfortunately, the worst breakfast experience we’ve had at a hotel in quite some time. We really wanted to enjoy our stay, but the lack of care and attention to detail made it impossible. We would not stay here again and cannot recommend it.

Not a bad stay, but I won't be back. The good: price, location ( walking distance to beach), and great water pressure. The bad: staff was unhelpful and inattentive, breakfast was aweful (pastries, waffles, and cereal, a nightmare for someone with celiacs), lumpy and hard beds, moldy hottub, moldy balconies... the list goes on.
