8.0/10

Staying at this hotel was a mixed bag for me. The location was amazing, with eateries right at my feet and the beach, city, and shopping center just a short drive away. However, the rooms weren't well soundproofed, and I could hear activities in the next room. The service was top-notch, quick to address issues, and incredibly friendly. The location was convenient overall, but the mattress in the main bedroom wasn't comfortable. The dining options were varied, with plenty of places to eat within walking distance. Price-wise, it offered decent value for money.

Rooms
