Ocean view molto bella!
Pros:

Molto bella la vista sull'oceano e la posizione proprio sulla spiaggia. Molto bella anche la camera e il bagno. Spaziosi e curati

Cons:

Purtroppo c'è un solo ascensore che serve tutta la struttura per cui fisso si fanno lunghe attese.

Skuffet
Pros:

God og central beliggende lige ved stranden.
God seng og god størrelse på værelset.

Cons:

Der var mug på badeværelset, både på gulvet og på badeforhænget og hele hotellet virkede slidt. Dårlig lydisolering imellem værelserne.

Muy regular
Pros:

Ubicación

Cons:

El aire acondicionado del todo el piso 14 estaba dañado, las habitaciones un horno! Nos cambiaron de habitación al otro día. El personal habla muy mal inglés y nos llamó la atención que las mismas personas del lobby atendían las mesas en el desayuno. La ducha estaba floja y mal remendada.

Nice hotel on the beach. Can’t beat the location.
Pros:

It is right across from the beach and all the shops and cafes. The main lounge and breakfast room is on the 15th floor with amazing views of the beach and bridge. Rooms are big.

Cons:

The housekeeping was not great. They did not restock toilet paper (like there was none) and the garbage wasn’t taken out.

Pros:

The room is spacious and super clean, the area was super nice too, specially at night time. If you take a taxi to get there, it's better if you get off a couple blocks before, the area is super busy.

Cons:

The staff at the front desk wasn't very welcoming, the first experience it's very confused, the front elevators were under maintenance, only one elevator for the entire hotel and not many signs about it.

地點非常方便，在梯廳可以看到無人機表演。因為訂了無窗的房間，房間太昏暗是唯一缺點。電梯不太好等，但還可以接受。
