Reviews and Ratings
Staying at this hotel felt like having a cozy little apartment with a small kitchen and a full bath. The rooms were clean and recently remodeled, providing a comfortable stay. The service was mixed, with some pleasant and friendly interactions but also some instances of rudeness. The location was convenient for accessing nearby shops and restaurants but a bit far from the beaches and city center. The dining options were limited, especially with no breakfast offered, but the hotel had vegetarian food available. The facilities were decent, offering basic amenities for a comfortable stay.
The hotel is set in a charming area with beautifully manicured landscapes. It offers a convenient location close to great restaurants but is about 4 miles from downtown. While the service had some issues with rudeness, the staff promptly changed my room due to a heavy cigarette odor. However, being told to pay extra for a clean room was off-putting. No breakfast was offered, but the overall experience was okay.
I chose this hotel mainly because it was quiet, but unfortunately, the room smelled like someone had been smoking and wasn't particularly clean. However, they helped me switch rooms after noticing this issue.
The hotel rooms were nice for a 3-star, but with a noticeable bad smell and some damages, making it feel more like a $70 hotel. However, the rooms were large, clean, and seemed to have undergone some remodeling, which was a plus.
The hotel had a confusing room layout with some maintenance issues but was conveniently located near restaurants and shops. The service was a mix of helpful recommendations and supply challenges. The dining options were limited, and the price was higher compared to others in the area.
The hotel rooms were large and clean but facing the noisy parking lot. The service had some issues but managed to change my room promptly. The location was nice with well-kept surroundings but prone to noise from young party makers. The dining area looked appealing but the breakfast was not available. Overall, a mixed experience with some ups and downs.
