I was a little concerned when i checked in and was allocated the room closest to reception and closest to the parking area. My fears of potential noise were ill founded …it was very quiet and the staff were extremely helpful and courteous. The location is ideal for the beach and proximity to restaurants nearby. Its clean, safe and friendly

Good value for money and good breakfast

Really comfortable and clean room with lots of options for breakfast and water fountain available all the time. The pool was nice and it was close to the beach. The parking outside the hotel was often full however there was free on street parking although this can get busy during the day with people going to the beach. There were lots of food options around and we enjoyed the breakfast there were lots of options!

Excellent and friendly staff that were very helpful. Beds are firm but all of Europe seems this way. Very convenient walk to the beach and access to a store for drinks and snacks and an ATM. Restaurants walkable as well. Best part was the staff!

Staff was amazing. Room was bright and modern. Enjoyed the rooftop patio and pool. Lots of food choices for breakfast. Loved that the beach was less than a 5 minute walk. Beautiful trails nearby. There were a couple of stores and restaurants within a few minute walk. Parking in the hotel lot was very tight but parking was available on the street.
