The hotel's position offered nice sea views. Access to both the town and beach was convenient. The receptionist provided a helpful welcome.
The bathroom cleanliness was not ideal, especially the toilet. One bed made squeaky noises and felt uncomfortable. The room temperature was cold due to lack of heating.
