Hôtel en centre ville avec ses avantages et ses inconvénients
Pros:

Belle salle de bain.
La vue sur la baie et la salle de sport sont superbes. Le petit déjeuner est très copieux.

Cons:

Chambre spacieuse mais qui manque de cachet pour un hôtel qui affiche des prix relativement élevés.
Les repas servis aux restaurants sont de qualité moyenne.
La piscine est grande mais manque d'intimité près des tables de la terrasse et avec une vue sur la ville un peu triste.
