The hotel is very nice. It's near a plaza with shops and small restaurants. The room was very clean and comfortable. The breakfast could have been a little better. I mean, scrambled eggs instead of boiled eggs. Other than that, it was okay.

Had a great experience with my family. Stayed 5 nights. Beds were comfortable. Love the pool area. Could use some cleaning around the edge but still a nice area. It’s nice that breakfast is offered. It’s very basic but something. Coffee is always available in the lobby. Overall, I’d stay there again.

I liked that parking is free and that there is a supermarket and a pharmacy within a mile. It's within walking distance to an ice cream shop, restaurants, and souvenir shops. The pool area is clean and very pleasant, with a poolside snack bar. The breakfast is simple but delicious, with a variety of bagels to choose from, as well as different cream cheeses and jams. There is yogurt with a variety of toppings to make a great parfait. They offer orange and apple juice, milk, and coffee. The coffee stand is open 24 hours a day. I didn't like the cleanliness of the sheets. Unfortunately, except for the pillowcases, the rest of the sheets were dirty; you could still smell the sweat of the previous guests. Very, very unpleasant and disgusting. Another thing I didn't like is that there is no gym. It would be nice if they considered having at least a small room with some weights and a treadmill. In reality, the price per night is quite high considering the limited cleanliness of the sheets and the lack of a gym. When I chose this hotel, I did so primarily because it said it offered free transportation to the beach. I thought the hotel was the one offering it, but that's not the case. It's a private business in town that is sponsored by the hotel and other local businesses. Although the service was good and "free," I must emphasize that it's almost "mandatory" to tip per person, between $3 and $5 per ride.
