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 close to Old town and beach. Room had balcony and view towards sea. Air con was great as was TV with good choice of UK channels.
No auto light sensor in corridor to room was a bit anoying as difficult to find switch in dark. Great reception staff.

Good value
The hotel was just a few steps from the main beach and surrounded by restaurants and bars.
The room itself was a decent size and had a small kitchen which was suitable for making snacks or small meals only.

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
