I felt like I hit the jackpot with this hotel! The rooms were not only clean and comfortable but also had the most enormous, cozy bed and plenty of storage space. Breakfast each day was a delight, served by the smart and efficient staff in the dining room. The location was a dream, just a stone's throw away from the beach and town in a peaceful area. However, the parking situation was a bit odd, sometimes requiring cars to block others. Overall, a fantastic stay with a few quirky parking moments.

The hotel's rooms were very clean and compact but a bit cold, although I appreciated the drink facilities available. The service was friendly and welcoming, with the staff always ready to assist. The location, although not offering a front-line sea view, was pleasant and convenient. The dining experience was excellent with a good choice of traditional fare. Overall, a comfortable and clean stay with friendly service but lacking some warmth in the rooms.
