Staying at this hotel had its highs and lows. The rooms were comfortable and had some nice amenities, but cleanliness was an issue. The staff was extremely nice and helpful, although there was a delay in room readiness. The location was convenient but sometimes noisy, and the dining experience was a bit hit or miss.

I had a wonderful stay at the hotel. The rooms were basic but spacious and clean, providing a comfortable and relaxing environment. The service was friendly, although there were some instances of staff behavior that could be improved. The location was convenient, being close to the beach and other attractions. The dining experience was somewhat disappointing due to ongoing refurbishments, but overall, it was an enjoyable stay.
