I recently stayed at this hotel and overall had a pleasant experience. The rooms were very clean and comfortable, making for a cozy stay. The location is ideal, providing easy access to the beach and nearby attractions, although the dining options left me wanting a bit more variety. The facilities, including the pool area, were quite well-kept. While the price was reasonable, I was disappointed that the Wi-Fi wasn't complimentary.
