Great area, 2 mins from the boardwalk and marina, many shops within 10 min radius walking. Hotel is aging, and there aren’t modern amenities like usb plug ins, or in room coffee, but the staff are friendly, the pool is clean, and the price was right.

Good location for a couple of nights

We stayed here for 2 nights and was in a prime location for what we wanted. Clean spacious room and great staff. The bar and pool area was nice. Compared to some of the four star hotels we have stayed in, this 3 star hotel is better.

Great location and walkable. Property could use a make over as dated. Rooms very tiny (studio) with minimal amenities. Old furniture and tile floors chipped in many areas. Location is only plus in my opinion.

Unfailingly polite and friendly staff. Would recommend the hotel were daily with maid service. Tea and coffee supplies in room appear ad hoc. Even budget hotels manage to keep supply on a daily basis. So a couple of minor carps, but overall a good hotel in a really good position with nearly all bases covered

You get what you pay for. Beware the Parking!

Served a purpose for us and we got what we paid for. Handy to the beach and restaurants. Disappointed with the parking situation as we booked it for that reason. Car park was full so had to park offsite for 25euro.
