The hotel's location is fantastic, right off the beach with a great ocean view and close to local amenities. The rooms, though a bit noisy due to wood floors, offer actual views despite some disturbances. The service is top-notch and friendly, ensuring a pleasant stay. The dining experience may lack variety, but the hotel offers a good value for money overall.

Staying at this hotel was a pleasant experience overall. The location is superb, right by the wonderful beach and near many leisure spots, offering easy access to amenities. The rooms were comfortable and met all our needs for an efficiency room. The service was exceptional, with friendly staff who went above and beyond. However, the dining options were limited and could have been more relaxing even without an ocean view.

Staying at the Oceanside building was a mixed experience. The rooms definitely need major renovations, but my room was equipped with a king bed, jetted tub, and other amenities. It was clean and had some storage space but lacked adequate renovation.
