The hotel was conveniently located near the bus station and close to the very entertaining restaurant Eat at Ed's where the waiters are intentionally rude. The rooms were comfortable but could use a touch of modernization. The service was excellent, although the laundry prices were a bit steep. Overall, a decent stay with some minor drawbacks.

I truly enjoyed my stay at this hotel. The location was fantastic, right near the eateries we wanted to go to and just a short distance from the entertaining restaurant Eat at Ed's. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the staff was friendly and accommodating. However, the dining experience had its ups and downs. The price was reasonable, but some amenities could have been better.

I had a wonderful stay at the hotel! The location is fantastic, close to the beach and with easy access to restaurants. The rooms were clean and cozy, and the staff was extremely friendly. However, the dining experience left something to be desired due to limited breakfast options. On the bright side, the pool area was well-kept and enjoyable. The price was reasonable, but it's worth noting that Wi-Fi had an additional charge.

The hotel is ideally located near the bus station, making it convenient for my planned activities. The rooms were spacious and modern, offering a good value for money, but the dining experience at the Japanese restaurant was underwhelming due to limited options. The service was top-notch, although amenities like Happy Hour were missing. The facilities were convenient and well-maintained, but missing pet amenities. The overall experience was positive with a few minor drawbacks.
