Great location, friendly staff, clean property
Pros:

Location makes this hotel awesome, park your car and walk anywhere in the town, only need the car to tour the neighboring towns. Walk out from the lobby, cross the street in you are on the beach, very cool location. Coffee all day available, the kitchen makes it easy to bring home leftovers, cook breakfast if you wish, full size fridge in unit.

Cons:

The bathroom has hot water, it is usable and clean but it could use a little TLC. On our units window, half of it was covered by the adjacent cabin/villa, not pretty to look at, Overall for the price it is not bad

Pros:

La ubicación es increíble y las chicas de recepción super atentas y serviciales en todo momento. El lugar es tranquilo y nos sentimos muy seguros.

Cons:

Las instalaciones necesitan mantenimiento en general y principalmente limpieza de desagües ya que en algunos momentos huele mal.

Bruyant,sans équipement et vétuste.
Pros:

Personnel agréable et qui fait son possible pour vous aider. Emplacement en face de la plage.

Cons:

Très bruyant car la route passe devant et c'est du passage incessant. A la réservation on parle d'une kitchenette....OK. mais pas équipée! Une casserole et une petite poêle qui est proche de la fin de vie!. Pas assez d'assiette, couvert etc...
La salle de bain éculée. Pas de coin au calme pour déjeuner. Les photos sont vraiment trompeuses. L'hôtel mérite un rafraîchissement total. Très cher pour ce que c'est.

Adecuado para una estancia corta, pero con instalaciones antiguas y precio elevado.
Pros:

Está bien ubicado y cumplió perfectamente con lo que necesitábamos para una noche de urgencia, ya que no teníamos nada reservado. Ofrecen café gratis, la piscina está limpia y cuentan con un patio interior muy agradable y relajante.

Cons:

Las instalaciones son bastante antiguas y echamos en falta algo de renovación. Además, se escuchaba mucho el ruido de la calle. Nos pareció que el precio era elevado en relación al servicio ofrecido.

Pros:

L' hôtel offre du café le matin et il y a une cuisinette dans la chambre j' ai apprécié le fait que ma chambre se situait au rez de chaussée face a la piscine

Cons:

Il y a trois marches dans la chambre pour accéder à la salle de bains et cuisinette. L' eau de la piscine n' était pas propre ni claire à mon arrivée cela a pris quelques jours avant de pouvoir s y baigner. Il n' y a aucun fauteuil confortable pour s asseoir à cet hôtel. Situé à l' extrémité du village et de l' autre côté de la rue de la mer
