"Just steps from the beach, it’s in a good location. Room was modern and bed was comfy. Room was quite noisy, you could hear the room next door talking and the water running in the pipes. Service was just okay, person who checked us in was checking in multiple people at a time in an attempt to be efficient but it wasn’t. It was reasonably priced but probably wouldn’t stay again. "

"We stayed here for a local staycation and had a mixed but overall decent experience. We originally booked the standard queen room, but it felt more like a full-sized bed—not ideal for two people. Thankfully, the front desk staff was extremely friendly and accommodating. They offered to show us a different room with a king bed, and we decided to upgrade. That room was much nicer and more comfortable overall. Only downside was that the bedsheet in the upgraded room had a bit of dirt on the side,...
