Fantastic Stay Near the Beach!

helpful staffperfect locationair conditioningshower leak
I found the staff helpful and friendly. The location is AMAZING, just a short walk from both the seafront and many restaurants. My room had air conditioning and a lovely view overlooking the street.
The shower in my room was leaking, so the bathroom floor stayed wet. The towels did not dry quickly. I also found limited working electrical sockets in the room, inconvenient.
