Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was quite a mixed experience. The rooms were spotless and cozy, complete with a convenient kitchen sink and refrigerator; however, the sea-facing patio was missing, which was a letdown. The service was a bit inconsistent - friendly staff overall, but interruptions during sleep were bothersome. The location was fantastic being near the beach, although some updates are needed. Unfortunately, dining options were limited after Labor Day. The facilities were adequate but didn't stand out.
I loved my stay at this hotel! The location is unbeatable, just steps away from the beach and close to various restaurants. The rooms, even though a bit dated, were perfectly clean and spacious. The service was top-notch, except for one staff member, and I can't wait to come back for another week next year. The dining options were limited after Labor Day, but the freshly prepared eggs were a highlight. The facilities were great, and there's a wonderful retro vibe throughout the property.
The hotel had all amenities for longer stays but felt a little outdated, yet clean. The location was excellent, right by the beach and within walking distance to everything. However, the dining options were limited, and there were some disturbances during the night and early morning hours.
This hotel offers a cozy stay with rooms featuring a nice little balcony to watch the passing trains and complimentary coffee and tea. While some noise from neighboring TVs may disturb the peace, the convenient location by the sea-shore adds to the experience.
The hotel was a unique stay next to a garage that rents out bikes, offering a private balcony with a nice view of the beach. It was clean and up to date, though a bit too close to the action.
I had a pleasant stay at this hotel. The room offered free coffee and tea, and I liked the convenience of the little kitchenette, even though I only used the fridge. The cleanliness and comfort of the room were great, although there was some noise from the elephant herd-like footsteps on the second floor above room 117.
