I had a pleasant stay at the hotel. The rooms were clean and fairly comfortable, though a tall mirror and better curtains could improve the experience. Unfortunately, the service was lacking as there was no one available to get my car, and the absence of shops or commercial services on-site was inconvenient. The location, however, was convenient for my needs. The dining experience left much to be desired, with awful food except for the seasonal vegetables. The facilities were basic but functional.

This hotel was a mixed bag for me. The rooms were clean, but I would have appreciated a tall mirror and better curtains. The service was lacking in some areas, as I had to manage my car on my own, and there were no on-site shops or commercial services available. The location was convenient, but there were some drawbacks. The dining experience left much to be desired, although they did offer many local products. On the bright side, the facilities were alright.

The hotel is ideally situated near the beach, offering convenience to various dining options. The rooms were clean and comfy, and the staff was very welcoming. However, the dining experience fell short due to limited breakfast selections. The value for money is decent, yet the need to pay extra for Wi-Fi is a drawback.
