10/10 Excellent
"For a basic hotel it was just what we needed. It was close to the beach. Close to the train station. It had just been remodeled so it was super clean and everything was new. The pool was under construction too, which was a bit of a bummer. Overall, for a cheap hotel it was perfect."
