This hotel is located in a serene residential area, offering a sense of safety and comfort. The rooms are spacious and modern, providing a really nice atmosphere for relaxation. Although the dining experience was impressive, it could benefit from a few more options. The facilities, particularly the pool, were an enjoyable highlight of my stay. Overall, it offers great value for money, but the Wi-Fi access should be complimentary instead of paid.

I had a pleasant stay at this hotel, which was really clean and comfortable. The staff was attentive and responsive. While the dining options were decent, the breakfast could use more variety. The pool area was well-kept, but I noticed that the Wi-Fi wasn’t included in the price, and that was a bit inconvenient.

The hotel has a lovely atmosphere with clean, spacious rooms and a welcoming vibe. The staff was attentive and made our stay enjoyable; however, the dining options were somewhat limited, especially for breakfast. The amenities like the pool and beach access were terrific, but it’s a bit disappointing that parking wasn’t included in the price.

I had a lovely stay at this hotel, which featured clean and spacious rooms that offered a comfortable escape after a long day. While the staff provided excellent service, I found the dining options a bit lacking, especially at breakfast. The location was in a very safe neighborhood, which added to my peace of mind, but the facilities had some room for improvement. Overall, it’s a good value for money, though there are a few aspects that could be enhanced.

I had a wonderful time at this hotel! The rooms were really clean and comfortable, which made my stay so much more enjoyable. The staff were welcoming and helpful, although the breakfast options left something to be desired. The location felt safe and was convenient for exploring the area, but I wish parking was easier to access. Overall, the value for money was decent, but a couple of tweaks could make a big difference.
